Can't Install Wine on ChromeOS

Post by TheLoneH »

Hi, I just found Wine, and wanted to install it on ChromeOS (Crostini) and used the main guide, but can't seem to use

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
I get

Code: Select all

E: Unable to locate package winehq-stable
Can anyone help?

You will see this message if you have not yet (fully) added the WineHQ repository to your system.

Do you see the WineHQ repository in:

Code: Select all

apt policy
If not, did you download the winehq-xxx.sources file and run:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
