How to install and use Wine 5.0.2 on a Chromebook

on

Today we are looking at how to install and use Wine 5.0.2 on a Chromebook.  Please follow the video/audio guide as a tutorial where we explain the process step by step and use the commands below.

 Please take note, that we show how to install Audacity in this video, but you do not have to install it, you can install any Windows Applications which can be installed by Wine, here is a database to see if your application is supported or not

If you have any questions, or if you like to know if the app which you like to install should work, please contact us via a YouTube comment and we would be happy to assist you!

This tutorial is based on our video to install WineHQ.  This tutorial will only work on Chromebooks with an Intel or AMD CPU (with Linux Apps Support) and not those with an ARM64 architecture CPU and depending on your Chromebook's hardware it can be a bit laggy.

As seen in the video, please make sure that you have at least 7GB space in your Linux folder for Wine (depending on the size of the application it can be much more).

Commands Used:
1) sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
2) wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
3) sudo apt-key add winehq.key
4) echo "deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine.list
5) echo "deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/Debian_10 ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine.list
6) sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys DFA175A75104960E
7) sudo apt update
8) sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
9) winecfg
10) sudo apt install nemo
11) wine wine.exe
12) wine "/home/cosmadesimple/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Audacity/audacity.exe"
