How to install wine-mono for wine 8 on Ubuntu?

Post by bjherbison »

Running Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. Just updated software and wine-8.0 was installed.

The first run popped up a message saying wine-mono wasn't found. It could install it, but it recommended using a distribution package and pointed to https://wiki.winehq.org/Mono . I cancelled to follow the suggestion.

Unfortunately
1) The wiki page https://wiki.winehq.org/Mono doesn't list a Wine Mono Version for Wine version 8.0.
2) I don't know how to get that pop-up again so I can't have Wine install a version of wine-mono.

How do I move forward?

There are several ways to do this.

- Update the wineprefix with:

Code: Select all

wineboot -u
- Download and install Wine Mono manually:

Code: Select all

wget "https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono/7.4.0/wine-mono-7.4.0-x86.msi"
wine start wine-mono-7.4.0-x86.msi
You can check if Wine-mono is installed with:

Code: Select all

wine uninstaller --list

Thank you. So 7.4.0 is the correct version to go with Wine 8.0?

That's right.
