I have Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (Noble Numbat). Not sure if this is important, but the computer is set up to dual boot with Windows 10.
I'm trying to install Wine from the terminal and use Wine to install OfficeSetup.exe. After installing wine the command
wine --version
returns
error: unable to find wine executable. this shouldn't happen.
I searched and found a similar problem discussed here: Debian Forums I don't understand the solution given. I have limited experience on Unix and even less on Linux.
How can I resolve this error?
Edit for more information and an update: I'm installing with apt. It behaves the same way if I use App Center. At first I was doing this:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install win
I've tried a more complicated version that included downloading repositories and keys manually. It didn't help.
David gave me a link to a possible solution, which I tried:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine32:i386
It seems these errors show up either way (sorry I didn't pick up on this before):
