How to Install and Use Wine to Run Windows Applications on Linux

To installing WineHQ packages you have to  uninstall any previously installed Wine package from another repository, remove it and any packages that depend on it (e.g., wine-mono, wine-gecko, winetricks)

Enable 32 bit architecture, If your system is 64 bit (if not yet enabled):

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 

Add the repository:

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

Update packages:

sudo apt-get update

Install
Eg: for the development branch

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

If is Staging branch that you want, replace `winehq-devel` with `winehq-staging` in the line above.

If apt-get complains about missing dependencies, install them, then repeat the last two steps (update and install).
