How to Install Wine on Ubuntu 20.04?

 Hello friends, in this article I will talk about how we can install the program called "Wine" on Ubuntu 20.04, which allows us to run Windows software, happy reading.

Let’s open the terminal and first enter the "lscpu" command to see if our operating system is 32 or 64 bit.

Among the data shown here, the "Architecture" section tells us whether our system is 32 or 64 bit.

If it only says "x86", it means 32 bit, if it says "x86_64", then our system is 64 bit.

Starting with Ubuntu 20.04, you no longer need to add the Wine repository to your system and you can install it directly via Ubuntu with the apt install command.

If your system is 64 bit 

sudo apt install wine64

If your system is 32 bit

sudo apt install wine32

You can install and use the program called Wine on your system by using these commands.

After the installation is complete 

wine --version

You can check the Wine version with this command.

After the Wine software is installed on your system, you can open Wine from the applications section and use software with ".exe" extensions on your Linux system.

If you want to remove the Wine software, simply type the command "sudo apt-get purge winehq-stable" into the terminal.
