How to Install Wine Stable 1.8.5 in Ubuntu 16.04 via New PPA

Last updated: May 9, 2017

Wine Stable

While Ubuntu Wine Team PPA does no longer update since Wine 1.8.0 release, there lacks a PPA for those sticking to Wine 1.8.x stable series.

Now J Fernyhough is maintaining a PPA with latest Wine 1.8 packages for Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 14.04, though ricotz’s unstable PPA also contains Wine 1.8 along with other applications.

So far, its Wine 1.8.5 and you can follow the steps below to install it in the current two Ubuntu LTS releases:

wine185-stable

1. Remove old Wine packages if installed via command (press Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal): 

sudo apt remove wine wine1.* && sudo apt autoremove

2. Add the new Wine PPA via command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/wine && sudo apt update

jonathonf wine ppa

3. Finally install wine-stable package to get the latest Wine 1.8 packages from the PPA:

sudo apt install wine-stable

That’s it. To remove the Wine packages, simply run the step 1 and remove PPA via Software & Updates -> Other Software tab.

Install The Latest Wine 1.8.2 Stable in Ubuntu 16.04

Last updated: June 11, 2016

Wine Stable

Here’s how to install the latest Wine Stable 1.8.2 in all current Ubuntu releases, while Wine Team PPA still provides the initial 1.8 release.

The Wine Team PPA has not been updated for almost 6 months. For those who want the latest updates and fixes for the stable 1.8 Wine series, you may temporarily use another PPA packaged by Rico Tzschichholz.

Wine 1.8.2

1. Add the PPA.

The PPA is named ‘unstable’, don’t use it on production machines and wait the Wine Team PPA if you want a more stable build.

Open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and paste the command below and hit Enter:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable

Type in your password (no visual feedback) when it asks and hit Enter to adding the PPA.

ricotz-unstable

2. If you have the 1.8.0 installed, launch Software Updater and upgrade it after checking for updates.

Or run the commands below one by one in terminal to update and install Wine 1.8.2:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install wine1.8

So far, works for Ubuntu 16.10, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 12.04, and also Ubuntu 15.10.

3. (Optional) To remove it, use apt command with remove flag:

sudo apt remove wine1.8

The PPA can be remove via System Settings -> Software & Updates -> Other Software.
