I was trying to install playonlinux by terminal on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but there is no commands for that version of Ubuntu (at least I didn't find them).

So I was wondering if somebody can help me.

What do you mean by "there is no commands"? – Android Dev May 27 '16 at 17:46

At the time of writing this post, the application is provided by noobslab.com for 16.04 version.

  1. Add the repository by using the following in the terminal,

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/apps

  2. Then update your package list,

    sudo apt-get update

  3. And then installation,

    sudo apt-get install playonlinux

    This will install several libraries which are needed for wine as well as playonlinux. Installation of this is big >580 MB. It may take some time for installation.

Now there is no need for PPA, check with apt show playonlinux. – Pablo Bianchi Jun 1 '17 at 19:31

You can simply run command sudo apt-get install playonlinux for installation.
