How to Update Wine to the Latest Version

11.10wine

I just formatted my laptop and got rid of Windows 7. Yay 😉

Either way, Wine is version 1.3.28 here, and I need it to update (there are some bugfixes) for my game so I need a more recent version. This is the version I got from the Ubuntu software manager. How do I get a more recent version or Wine version 1.4?

I've already added the repo into my repository, but still no updates.

Thanks in advance.

Best Answer

Add the correct repo

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

Update your sources list

sudo apt-get update

Update or install wine to the version on the PPA

sudo apt-get install wine1.3

Note: even tough the package name is wine1.3 the listed version on the Ubuntu wine packagers PPA contains version 1.4~rc1-0ubuntu1~ppa1~oneiric1.
