Today we are looking at how to install Wine Stable. After installing Wine in this method you will always receive Wine updates when a newer Wine Stable version is available.
If you do not want to use the terminal, you can also install Wine 4.0 from the Software Center.
In the video, we first look at how to install Wine, just copy/paste all the commands below, one by one into a terminal as seen in the video. The last command will open the Wine Settings but the actual purpose of running the command is to create a .wine hidden folder in your home directory and install Wine Mono and two Wine Gecko packages.
After that, I show how to use Wine by installing Windows applications called Fotor. Please note that not all Windows applications work on Wine but some do and they just continue to improve it.
1) sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
