WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows applications on Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, and BSD. WINE works by providing a set of libraries that allow Windows applications to run natively on non-Windows systems.

By using WINE, you can install and run many Windows applications directly on your non-Windows server from AlphaVPS without requiring a Windows installation.

This tutorial will show you how to successfully install it on your Ubuntu 22.04 server from AlphaVPS.

A pre-requisite to this guide is a working GUI with remote access /preferably/.  
You can refer to our GUI + RDP guide [here](https://blog.alphavps.com/how-to-install-a-gui-on-a-linux-vps/).

## Enable 32-bit architecture

Wine requires a 32-bit architecture for your system.  
You can do so by running:

```
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 
```

##   
Add the repository

To install the latest version of Wine, WineHQ has its own Ubuntu repository.  
We can add it with the following commands:

```
sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources
sudo apt update
```

## Installation

Once the repository is added, the installation is quite simple.  
You only need to run the following line:

```
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
```

You can confirm the installation by running `wine --version`.  
You will receive a similar output:

```
wine-8.0.1
```
