Run the following set of commands to install Wine 8.0 in Ubuntu 22.10 and Ubuntu 22.04 Systems:

sudo apt-get update
suod apt-get upgrade
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings

sudo apt update

winecfg

Note that the above line of command (sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/$(lsb_release -sc)/winehq-$(lsb_release -sc).sources) is for Ubuntu 22.10, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04 only.

  • For Ubuntu 20.04 based (e.g., Zorin OS 16.x), use focal.
