wine
This package provides essential wrappers and convenience tools for the standard Wine components. It also employs the Debian alternatives system to provide the usual command names, e.g. "wine" instead of "wine-stable".

Note, the version here in the repositories is an ancient version. Go to winehq.org to learn how to install the uptodate one. Though, whether that's a good idea is another issue; I've found that WINE has gotten worse with subsequent versions. Games that ran great in 5.x now are unplayable in 8.15 (latest as of this review). So be warned.
Wine does not work on my machine. I had to use virtualbox to run a windows application.
Still gets quite buggy sometimes but helps a ton when it comes to launching Windows apps on Linux. A+
Running Wine 7.0.1 from wine.org. Works for me. Running Mint Mate 21.1 , Only use it for Wizard101 .
First of all it's an old version , you should go to https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu and follow the instructions then TARA enjoy with windows applications.
Using Mint 21 Vanessa, in terminal I go to directory containing the .exe file and type wine file.exe and it opens no problem. Tho I have tried this on only one exe, notepad++
I Just installed Mint 21, after installing wine from Software Manager nothing happens no change in GUI, went thru many methods and tried susan707 advice it worked !!
You need to go over to your Synaptic Package Manager and install the following packages: wine-desktop-files (5.0.3) wine-installer (5.0.3) q4wine (1.3.12-1), I am using it for LT spice64 and it works fine for that.
This is an old version. Go to https://www.linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-wine-on-linux-mint-20/#Update_Linux_Mint to install Wine.
Try This: #sudo apt update #sudo apt upgrade #wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key #ls #sudo -H gpg -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/winehq.key.gpg --dearmor winehq.key #sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main' #sudo apt update #sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel wine --version #wine clock
for people who cant get it to run you have to go to the terminal and type "wine cmd.exe" to run cmd for example or "wine /home/username/desktop/app,exe"
simply doesn't run in Mint 20.2, used Play on Linux instead, it works. This shows a real flaw in the mint rating system when a program currently at 4.6 stars wont run in the current version.
MrAlbino solution worked for me. Dell Latitude 5480. Fresh Mint 20.2 Cinnamon install
