Yes.

When putting

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine.list

it says

Code:

sudo: gedit: command not found

Ok, sorry about that. I assumed SteamOS would have gedit. Try nano instead of gedit. They are both text editors.

So sorry, again im extrememly new to this, how would I go about saving the file in nano?

You could press ctrl-x and then press Y when prompted whether or not you want to save the file.

Thank you, if anything else happens i'll update you, thanks again!

Okay I was required to use the command

Code:

sudo apt-get update

I did that and everything went fine.
Afterwards I wanted to install the stable version using

Code:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

and the terminal said:

Code:

Unable to locate package winehq-stable

Ok. It appears as if it's not picking up that software source list file you set up.

Let's have a look at it (the first command lists all the files in the directory, the second outputs the contents of the file):

Code:

ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine.list

Enerbite · 07-17-2018, 07:18 PM

Doing that the terminal says

Code:

no such file or directory

Enerbite · 07-17-2018, 07:21 PM

Would that mean I need to retry the list?

Which - the first command or the second?

Enerbite · 07-17-2018, 07:22 PM

The second.

hydrurga · 07-17-2018, 07:23 PM

In that case it hasn't been created. What was the output from the first command?

Enerbite · 07-17-2018, 07:30 PM

It was

Code:

total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 148 Feb 10  2014 steam.list
-rw------- 1 root root 59 July 17 19:58 wine.list.save

is that last thing it? If so maybe I typed the second command wrong (copy and pasting doesn't work on this terminal)
