Re: How to install Wine on Mint 21.1
So what's with Heroic Launcher, Lutris, and Steam each having their own Wine/Proton versions and being able to install multiple versions?
I installed Wine through the very first entry when I search for "wine" through the GUI package manager. Then I uninstalled it through the same manager because I was able to use the Wine versions within each of the above programs, so I felt that I didn't need the package manager version anymore. Is that bad?

Best is to have a system-wide installation of Wine as well.jquand wrote:Is that bad?
See what Lutris's author says here: "If you plan on playing games for Windows, to ensure a smooth experience, install a recent version of Wine on your system. This will provide all necessary dependency as Lutris cannot ship with every component in its runtime."
On top of that, there have been certain games playable for me only with plain Winehq's Wine Staging for some reason.
Re: How to install Wine on Mint 21.1
Oh thank you. So I should install something anyway. What about this Bottles thing? Is that system wide?

I confirmed on both LM 20 and LM 21.1 on my 2nd/test PC that simple two meal deal command for installing wine
Results in the same end result as my older way of doing it via winehq.org instructions. cheers

I saw during the installation of Winehq that he had installed all the framework, DirectX, all version of windows system ... etc.(> 2GB).
The installation was very long.

Re: How to install Wine on Mint 21.1
I followed your commands to a T and Wine was installed perfectly. Thank you for providing accurate instructions!motoryzen wrote: ⤴Mon Apr 10, 2023 11:42 pmIt is really as simple as that
I apologize but through enough experience, i disagree.
Every...single..time I've tried doing simplysudo apt install wine-installer

it has never resulted in being able to launch any .exe file aka =- when right-clicking a file. You can select to Open it with " Wine Windows Program Loader". I've always had to follow the instructions at winehq.org per my specific Ubuntu/coherent distro version
Here are those exact instructions ( you can always create a new text file. and inside add to the very top line #!/bin/bash to make it a bash script, then make the file executable and now..you have a simple gui clickable launcher button that does all the installing for you ....Just remember *** the instructions can change on one or multiple lines out of the whole meal deal depending on the Linux Mint Version coherent to the Ubuntu main version per the website.. ** )Code: Select all

I never understood why sudo apt install wine-installer never worked for me though. It makes no sense as I know, Karlchen, you've helped a massive number of people and I don't recall any time your advice on something has been wrong.

Re: How to install Wine on Mint 21.1
My solution is simple:
I head to the WineHQ Website, and go to the download instructions for Ubuntu. There, I follow the instructions on how to do it properly for Ubuntu Jammy (which Vera is based upon). I personally use WineHQ Staging, as it works well for me and my setup.

Re: How to install Wine on Mint 21.1
karichen, thank you for the detailed instructions. They seem to have worked for me.
One question, after the wine-installer command and agreeing to the install, the results in the terminal lists additional suggested software. Do you have any input on installing these additions?

Re: How to install Wine on Mint 21.1
hello there,
Open the Terminal
Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open a terminal window.
Update the package list:
Run the following command to make sure your system has the latest package information:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine
wine --version
That's it! Wine should now be installed on your Linux Mint 21.1 system, and you can use it to run Windows applications.

Re: How to install Wine on Mint 21.1
You are suggesting adding a PPA is "the easiest and safest way" to install it?
Usually, one recommends installing packages in the repositories prior to recommending using PPAs.

It's not me who suggests it to the creator of winehq.
Ubuntu 20.04

Linux Mint 20.x
Ubuntu 22.04

Linux Mint 21.x
Re: How to install Wine on Mint 21.1
What they say (in the link you provided) is installing that PPA is how to get the latest version. They do not say it is the safest and easiest way to install Wine. In fact, they also say, "Should a newer version of Wine give problems, it is also possible to install an older version of your choice. "
Older versions are in the repos because the repos are about stability. They are not about getting the latest versions.

Re: How to install Wine on Mint 21.1
It's an option, sure. Works fine for some people, is a quicksand trap for others (especially newbies). Problem is, it's almost impossible to undo a failed partial Wine installation. Unless the user has a Timeshift snapshot, there's usually no alternative but reinstall.
For what? Very few apps need the latest version of Wine. And legacy Windows apps often do better with older Wine versions.
