Installing WINE in Linux

This guide is intended for Ubuntu 9.04 and wine-1.1.18

Step 1: Open your terminal and run the following:
wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Step 2: Depending on which version of Ubuntu you are using... run the following command:
For Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04):
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/ jaunty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
For Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10):
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/ intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
For Ubuntu Hardy (8.04):
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/ hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list


Step 3: Run this in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine


Step 4: Run this in the terminal:
winecfg
This will begin the initial setup of WINE, once a window opens, it's safe to close it.


WINE is now installed.

#5 TheFallenOne V2:  

Err, I followed your instructions, got an error at step three: "E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list"

Now I get this message when trying to open my Add/Remove thingy: Failed to check for installed and available applications

This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.

Edit: Fixed, had to manually remove the thing from the sources list. Not sure if this was just my problem alone, probably was.

Synaptic is also broken...

#1 Haywire:  

Small mistake, pointed by Stephen001 to me but I'd thought I'd make a post on his behalf, in Step 3 the link provided to the Terminal consists of a space right after the "/" thus hitting me with Terminal errors, "Invalid OpenPGP"-something.

On a side-note, yay for WINE, I got it working and I can now use BYOND Virtually from my Virtual Ubuntu Interprid.
