HELP - Instalation Issues

Post by PlainfacePonders »

I'm having some issues with installing Wine. I've been following the instructions at https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu.
The errors start at "sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/" (The message is "sudo: apt-add-repository: command not found"

"sudo apt-get update" the error is: "E: Unable to locate package winehq-stablesudo
E: Unable to locate package apt-get
E: Unable to locate package update"

Next is "sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable"
The response is "sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable"

Pls halp

@PlainfacePonders,

Paste each highlighted command line, from the WineHQ Ubuntu Download guide, into your terminal.
But ensure you do this one line at a time.

It looks like you're trying to copy blocks of commands and they are getting joined into one long command...
For some unknown reason that escapes me... :lol:

Please ACTUALLY READ the instructions prefacing the command blocks... :shock:
For example - if you are using Linux Mint - then you need to use an alternative command to add the WineHQ repository.
This is very clearly documented in the WineHQ Ubuntu Download guide.
