If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already):
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Add the repository:
wget https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key sudo apt-key add Release.key sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/
On Linux Mint 18.1, the last line should be the following:
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main'
Update packages:
sudo apt-get update
Then install one of the following packages:
| Stable branch |
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable |
|---|---|
| Development branch |
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel |
| Staging branch |
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging |
If apt-get complains about missing dependencies, install them, then repeat the last two steps (update and install).
