This document explains how to install a recent version of Wine Development or Wine Staging. Wine Stable is not available.

A Manjaro installation including a desktop is expected, in which case Wine should just work. For possibly enhanced graphics, see Graphics driversNew Window Icon in the Arch Wiki. Sound issues, if any, can be addressed through the settings panel that opens when winecfg is executed or by referring to the Arch Wiki information on Wine SoundNew Window Icon.

Do a full system upgrade

Open a Terminal window. The following will update all installed packages, from the repositories and also from AUR.

$ pamac upgrade -a

Install Wine

When you execute the next command, you will be asked to choose optional dependencies that give Wine additional functionality.

When asked, enter the number of each dependency you want to install separated by commas. For example, it would look like this if you choose to install wine-mono and wine-gecko (though the numbers shown here may change with time).

Enter a selection (default=none): 3,4

The next command will install Wine Development. If you prefer Wine Staging, replace wine with wine-staging.

$ pamac install wine

Verify the installation

Execute

$ wine --version
