Since making this video, Wine 5.0 has arrived and the installation method has changed, look here.

Today we are looking at how to install Wine 3.0.4 on Ubuntu 18.04.  In this blog, I added commands on how to install Stable, currently 3.0.4 on Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 18.10, Linux Mint 19 and Debian 9.   These commands will also update your system where a new stable release of Wine is out!

So if you use Ubuntu 18.04, a person just copy/paste the commands for Ubuntu 18.04 and if you use Linux Mint 19 or 19.1 use the commands for Linux Mint 19, etc...

You might notice I used I used wine --version to display the version of wine and winecfg to configure wine. 

I had a windows package already downloaded to show how to use wine, you will not have it downloaded by default!

This will also work on Ubuntu Based systems, like for Elementary OS 5.0 Juno you will also use Ubuntu 18.04 and for Deepin or LMDE 3, you use Debian 9.  I hope it is clear if it isn't please write me and I will help!

Ps.  I updated the commands as Wine changed the installation process.
