>Although the ubuntu repositories get updated quite often, there still might be some old stuff there. And that’s the reason I’m writing this right now, the Wine version…. But never fear! Peppoj has come to rescue you! 😉

So to ensure you have the latest version of Wine you first need to head over to WineHQ and check the version number of the development version (yeah i know), The next step is to type the following command in to the terminal:

wine --version

you should see something like:

wine-1.*

If it doesn’t mach with what you saw at WineHQ, then you know you got an old version!

To get the latest version, you need to type the following commands in the terminal:

You can skip the first line if you didn’t have Wine installed.

Good Luck!
