Hello Mohammad, welcome to Linux ! Inside of your official Software Center Program you'll find an old-stable version from WINE: But WINE has received further releases the last months/weeks, so there are newer versions which you can't find in this Software Center. For this installation it's more easy to copy&paste the installation in your terminal with an Ubuntu PPA (External Repository): Code (Text): sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa sudo apt-get update Install the latest stable Version (1.8.x): Code (Text): sudo apt-get install wine1.8 Or, for the most newest developer Version (often best results): Code (Text): sudo apt-get install wine1.9 With this in your Terminal, you see which version is installed: Code (Text): wine --version Does it work ? /Edit: Updated, latest stable=v1.8, latest developer (unstable)=v1.9
Hi! I have some troubles (First of all my destro is Elementary OS Luna x64 ) Code (Text): linux@linux-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install wine1.7 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine1.7 : Depends: wine1.7-amd64 (= 1:1.7.18-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: wine1.7-i386 (= 1:1.7.18-0ubuntu1) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. linux@linux-desktop:~$ Or through Synaptic and of course I cancelled it. Any idea? PS. Sorry for long image)) , possible insert spoiler here? Or through Synaptic
This can't work. WINE 1.7.18 is not the latest version from this PPA. As you can see here, 1.7.38 is the latest one: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+index?batch=75&memo=75&start=75 Is there an issue with your repository? Could you update everything and try again? Code (Text): sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get -f install sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install wine1.7
Unfortunately same story (before also was ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa repository, its pretty weird, I mean 1.7.18 version) Code (Text): linux@linux-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install wine1.7 Reading package lists...

I followed @paradise instructions for installing wine 1.8 since 1.6 is still the default in app center. After terminal finished I tried to run wine and got a message saying some .net files were missing in order to run wine. The message had a note: it is recommended to use your distribution's packages instead and included a link or "install", I chose install. Then a new message popped up saying Wine could not find a Gecko package and included a link to here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko but there is no 64 .msi files listed for v. 1.8. Should I install the 1.9 (unstable)? I am new to linux and using elementary os loki. Currently, the Wine Gecko Installer message is displayed on my screen and behind it was a Wine message saying The Wine configuration in (my home directory) is being updated please wait... I could use your help to get wine up and running. Thanks.
