A Stupid Quest Probably - How to install Wine 3.3 Staging?

Post by mindinsomnia »

Well, Wine 3.3 Staging / Wine 3.4 Staging.

I'm still very new to Linux, so, sorry if I sound like an idiot.

I can see on the download page for Wine there is a link indicating there are new builds for Wine Staging. And looking through the files there I could see there is version 3.3 and 3.4. I tried installing some debs from there but no joy.

I also see the stickied post on this forum indicating those experimental builds are available for testing.

And I can tell https://repos.wine-staging.com/alesliehughes/ is some kind of repository right?

Could anyone please tell me how to install Wine 3.3 Staging or Wine 3.4 Staging from that repository?

I can see a Release.key at the top.. and I'm guessing the url is the repository.. So I'm guessing something like this?

Code: Select all

wget -nc https://repos.wine-staging.com/alesliehughes/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://repos.wine-staging.com/alesliehughes/ubuntu/
sudo apt-get install [something]
But I'm not sure what that [something] would be.. Or if the rest of it is correct...

Again sorry if I sound like an idiot, I'm trying. '^'

@mindinsomnia

I'm guessing you are using Ubuntu (or a flavor of)...
Your general vagueness is a bit of a dead giveaway... :wink:

To install the latest release of Wine Staging (currently 3.4) on Ubuntu use:

Code: Select all

wget -nc https://repos.wine-staging.com/alesliehughes/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository https://repos.wine-staging.com/alesliehughes/ubuntu/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging
Note that won't work on the Linux Mint mainline addition - because it has broken repository references...

The author just didn't know the package name which is actually unintuitive and asked for it.

I was merely referring to the total failure to mention what Operating System or Linux Distribution they was using...
That's pretty essential information - to be able to get some help!
I was certainly not commenting about the package naming - that is confusing...
No offence meant! :lol:
