How to install Wine 1.9 on Ubuntu 15.10? [duplicate]

I am not really a fan of stable branches and have moved to Wine 1.7 as soon as it spawned from Wine 1.6 and have been using it for years without a problem.

So, now, as Wine 1.8 stable has been released and Wine 1.9 created as a successor to Wine 1.7 I would really like to install it (Wine 1.9).

However I can't find any PPA with it. The "Ubuntu Wine Team" PPA seems to provide some related packages like "wine-gecko1.9" but not wine1.9 itself. The "Official Wine builds" PPA provides wine-devel packages but I don't really understand what are they meant for as installing them does not actually install wine.

So how do I install Wine 1.9?

PS: Of course I can always build it from sources and install it to /opt but I'd prefer a more tidy PPA way.

Since you mention that unstable wine is okay for you, you can use PPA of wine-staging. I am using it right now, and I have the 1.9 version. Note however, that the purpose of wine-staging is testing experimental features, which aren't yet merged with the main branch.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends wine-staging
sudo apt-get install winehq-staging

hmm i dont suggest using a ppa, i prefer another way to get the newest wine versions and manage them and it is called playonlinux

sudo apt-get install playonlinux

then go to Tools->Manage wine versions and choose your wine version to install, it is regularly updated and lets you use many versions of wine together and install libraries easy (easier than winetricks IMHO).

It is very easy to delete old wine versions and/or virtual drives and it will always have the latest wine available!

If you want to run an app through playonlinux: you have to create a new virtual drive, open a Command Prompt and browse to the directory to run the .exe
