How do I install PlayOnLinux on Ubuntu?

Answer 1

Installing from the Ubuntu repository:

PlayOnLinux is available from the default Ubuntu repositories on Ubuntu versions 12.04 and later.
Install it with

sudo apt-get install playonlinux  

Then click ➕ Install a program in PlayOnLinux and search for the Windows program that you want to install.

However, if you want the latest version, you will need to add the PlayOnLinux repository.

Installing from the PlayOnLinux repository:

The following example is for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

wget -q "http://deb.playonlinux.com/public.gpg" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_precise.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
