Officially, we can only install Windows applications on Windows, Mac applications on macOS, and Linux applications on Linux. Unofficially, though, we can install some Windows applications on Linux, by using Wine.

 

 Let's see how to install Wine in Linux Mint and Ubuntu. 

To install wine first we have to add some architecture and some repository to install updated application. 

Let`s add the repository using following commands...

 # sudo dpkg --add-architecher i386

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

Now we added repository successfully,now we have to update the system by using following command.

# sudo apt-get update 

After update we have to enter following command to install wine .

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

 Wine Installed on system now we have to  configure it using following command.

# winecfg
