Install Wine on Debian
 

Hi there,

I am running Debian 8.3 with Gnome and want to install Wine, so that I can run some windows program, I successfully installed and run it on Mint but couldn't get it work on Debian, I couldn't find it even I receive no error during installation, any idea ??

post output here.

It's not quite that simple, especially if you have a 64-bit computer. See here
https://wiki.debian.org/Wine

Also if it is installed, Debian doesn't by default install any shortcuts for it or gui add-ons for it, so you'd have to launch wine manually from console.

Actually, you wouldn't launch Wine alone, but with the program that will use it. It's easiest to create menu entries like this:
wine "/home/david/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MorinusWinEng/morinus.exe"

Thanks for the feedback guys sorry for the late response.... I followed the wiki but got stuck at installing Jessie Backport.

............. apt install \

> wine64-development/jessie-backports \
> libwine-development/jessie-backports \
