WineHQ Packages

Although Debian and Ubuntu offer their own Wine packages, these are often several versions behind. To make installing the latest version of Wine as easy as possible, WineHQ has its own repository. Should a newer version of Wine give problems, it is also possible to install an older version of your choice.


Preperation

If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already):

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 

Download and add the repository key:

sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key


Add the repository

Please select your distribution and download the WineHQ sources file:

Update the package information:

sudo apt update

Install Wine

Install one of the following packages:

Stable branch
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
Development branch
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel
Staging branch
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging

The WineHQ Wiki explains the differences between the branches.


Help

Sometimes there are problems installing Wine. If your problem is not listed, search the forum and ask your question.

Missing dependencies

WineHQ packages are created and tested for clean Debian and Ubuntu installations. Using PPAs or third-party repositories may prevent the installation of Wine. Often the problem is that these repositories are not multiarch. The required 32 and 64-bit packages are missing or cannot be installed side by side. The deb.sury.org repository is known for causing problems.

Read also the FAQ about dependency errors and tips for troubleshooting dependency issues.


Another cause may be the use of backports. A newer 64-bit version of a library is already installed, but the 32-bit version isn't. These packages are given a lower priority so they will not be installed automatically. The solution is to manually install the missing 32-bit package from backports.


Older versions of Wine (prior to version 6.21) have FAudio as a dependency. These packages are missing on Ubuntu 18.04. These can be downloaded from the OBS. For Debian 10, these packages are available in backports.


Winehq key problems

  • The WineHQ repository key was changed on 2018-12-19. If you downloaded and added the key before that time, you will need to download and add the new key and run sudo apt update to accept the repository changes.
  • Previously, apt-key was used to add the wine key. Apt-key is now deprecated. If you get this warning, remove the wine key with:

sudo apt-key del "D43F 6401 4536 9C51 D786 DDEA 76F1 A20F F987 672F" And remove the the line about the WineHQ repository from /etc/apt/sources.list(.d/).

Ubuntu 22.04 and Wine stable

There are no stable packages for Ubuntu 22.04 yet. Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish did not exist when Wine 7.0 was released. There will be stable packages whenever 7.0.1 comes out.

Mirror sync in progress?

If you get an error message when trying to install a package from WineHQ that includes the line Mirror sync in progress? that is most likely the problem. There are many packages to sync, and it can take a long time to complete.

Wait a few hours, and try again. If the problem persists for more than a day, file a bug.


Notes

  • Menu items are not created for Wine's builtin programs (winecfg, etc.). If you upgrade the wine distro packages that had added them, they will be removed. You can recreate them yourself using your menu editor.
  • The Wine files are installed in /opt/wine-<branch>/
  • WineHQ does not offer wine-gecko or wine-mono packages. When creating a new wine prefix, you will be asked if you want to download those components. For best compatibility, it is recommended to click Yes here. If the download doesn't work for you, please follow the instructions on the Gecko and Mono wiki pages to install them manually.
  • Beginning with Wine 5.7, the WineHQ packages have an optional debconf setting to enable CAP_NET_RAW to allow applications that need to send and receive raw IP packets to do so. This is disabled by default because it carries a potential security risk, and the vast majority of applications do not need that capability. Users of applications that do need it can enable CAP_NET_RAW after installing Wine by running

dpkg-reconfigure wine-<branch>-amd64 wine-<branch> wine-<branch>-i386 and answering yes to the three questions

  • Binfmt_misc registration is not added. Consult your distro's documentation for update-binfmts (man update-binfmts) if you wish to do this manually.

Installing without Internet

To install Wine on a Debian/Ubuntu machine without internet access, you must have access to a second Debian/Ubuntu machine (or VM) with an internet connection to download the WineHQ .deb package and its dependencies.

On the machine with internet, add the WineHQ repository and run apt update as described above.

Next, cache just the packages necessary for installing wine, without extracting them:

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get --download-only install winehq-<branch>

sudo apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade

Copy all of the .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives to a USB stick:

cp -R /var/cache/apt/archives/ /media/usb-drive/deb-pkgs/

Finally, on the machine without internet, install all of the packages from the flash drive:

cd /media/usb-drive/deb-pkgs sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Building from Source

  • Beginning with 4.0-rc2, the WineHQ repository includes the .dsc, .diff.gz, and .orig.tar.gz files generated by the Open Build Service(OBS).

These source packages can be found on "https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/<distro>/dists/<version>/main/source"

  • On the new versions of Debian and Ubuntu, the multiarch problems have been fixed. and it is possible to install all dependencies side by side.

This allows wine to be built using the steps listed under Shared WoW64.

  • On older versions of Debian and Ubuntu the multiarch implementation could be incomplete. You can't simply install 32-bit and 64-bit libraries alongside each other. If you're on a 64-bit system, you'll have to create an isolated environment for installing and building with 32-bit dependencies. See Building Wine for instructions on how to build in a chroot or container.
