Than i type the following commands

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine:i386

When i follow the link in https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian
i type all commands until i reach this point :

Add the repository to /etc/apt/sources.list or create a *.list under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ with the following content:
For this version: Add this content to /etc/apt/sources.list:
Debian 9 (Stretch) deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ stretch main
Debian 10 (Buster) deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main
Debian Testing (currently Bullseye) deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ bullseye main

I dont know when i click on the link https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ and i get on the wine server which files i have to download

The idea is to create or change a file.
For example create a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Code: Select all

echo "deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ bullseye main" > winehq.list
sudo mv winehq.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

This question is not very easy to answer.
From the WineHQ Wiki:
The stable branch is on an annual release schedule, with minor updates as needed (usually every 10-12 weeks). This version is intended for users whose applications and games already work well in the existing code, and who are not interested in testing new versions.

The development is on a biweekly release schedule. This branch is the main branch, where bug fixing occurs and new features are added. It is recommended for users who want or need the latest features and bugfixes. Users of applications/games for which the stable branch does not work should always test the development release before filing bugs.

Since September, 2015 there has been a third official branch known as staging. This branch includes several hundred experimental patches that are not yet ready for inclusion in the main branch and is recommended for users of applications/games affected by bugs marked STAGED as well as those interested in helping to test experimental patches.
If you can't decide, you can install all three versions side-by-side
(I recommend to use a different Wineprefix for each Wine version)

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --install-recommands winehq-stable wine-devel wine-staging
# Wine stable
wine [program.exe]
# Wine Devel
/opt/wine-devel/bin/wine [program.exe]
# Wine Staging
/opt/wine-staging/bin/wine [program.exe]
