Wine is an open-source compatibility layer that allows you to run Windows applications on Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS. Wine is an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator". It translates Windows system calls into equivalent POSIX calls used by Unix-based operating systems, allowing you to seamlessly integrate Windows programs into your desktop environment.

Not all Windows applications will run in Wine, and even if they do, they may not behave in the same way they normally would. The Wine AppDB is a database containing a list of applications that have been tested and confirmed to work under Wine.

Wine isn't always the best option to run Windows programs on Linux. You can also use a virtualization tool like VirtualBox or VMware, but they require more system resources and a Windows installation file.

This tutorial describes how to install Wine on Ubuntu 20.04. We will teach you how to install the latest version 6.x from the WineHQ repositories. The same instructions apply for any Ubuntu-based distribution, including Zorin OS, Linux Mint, and Elementary OS.

Perform the following steps as root or user with sudo privileges to install Wine version 6 on Ubuntu:

1. If you are running a 64-bit Ubuntu system, enable the 32-bit architecture and update the packages list:

$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt update

2. Import the WineHQ repository’s GPG key:

$ wget -qO- https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo apt-key add -

3. Add the WineHQ repository to your system:

$ sudo apt install software-properties-common
$ sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ $(lsb_release -cs) main"

4. Install Wine by typing:

$ sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

5. This will install a bunch of packages. Once completed, verify the Wine installation by typing:

$ wine --version

6. To start configuring Wine, run the winecfg command in your terminal. The command installs Mono and Gecko and sets the Wine environment:

$ winecfg

Windows applications are installed in the ~/.wine/drive_c/ directory.

That’s it, you have installed Wine 6 on your Ubuntu 20.04 desktop, and you can start using it.
