If wine --version returns wine: command not found the probabilities that you didn't installed it are high. You may want go for the safe path and install wine using apt:

sudo apt-get install wine

That will 100% sure install wine correctly.

dpkg --get-selections | grep wine

If the output of the above command displays wine,then you installed wine.If not install wine by running,

sudo apt-get install wine

  • that command doesn't display anything. But apt-get requires internet connection and i am on very very slow network. isn't it possible just to install the wine package i've downloaded?
