    Install Wine with Mono & Gecko in Ubuntu 20.04

Warning: Do not try those command in your main PC, I test in a virtual Machine
Note: Most of commands are from the Dockerfile in Reference section. If you want to test wine, just run their docker container
1. Setup PPA

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -qO - https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo apt-key add -
# for Ubuntu 20.04
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main'
2. Install Wine on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install winehq-stable=7.0.0.0~focal-1
# if ask paudio (or similar) different from ...., I choose to use Default [N]
3. Check Wine Version

wine --version
# It will prompt `wine-7.0`
4. Install Mono

sudo mkdir /opt/wine-stable/share/wine/mono
sudo wget -O - https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono/7.0.0/wine-mono-7.0.0-x86.tar.xz | sudo tar -xJv -C /opt/wine-stable/share/wine/mono
5. Download Gecko

sudo mkdir /opt/wine-stable/share/wine/gecko
sudo wget -O /opt/wine-stable/share/wine/gecko/wine-gecko-2.47.1-x86.msi https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-gecko/2.47.1/wine-gecko-2.47.1-x86.msi
sudo wget -O /opt/wine-stable/share/wine/gecko/wine-gecko-2.47.1-x86_64.msi https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-gecko/2.47.1/wine-gecko-2.47.1-x86_64.msi
After above steps, you should find wine-mono & wine-gecko as following screenshots:


6. Set WINE env config in bashrc

note: do not run any windows program before this setup
Run following lines will add WINE env config in your .bashrc file
# Wine Setup
echo "export WINEPREFIX=~/prefix32" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export WINEARCH=win32" >> ~/.bashrc
7. Run explore.exe to setup wine folder automatically.

Use following command in bash terminal, and it will take a while for setup.
wine /opt/wine-stable/lib/wine/i386-windows/explorer.exe
# or
/opt/wine-stable/bin/wine /opt/wine-stable/lib/wine/i386-windows/explorer.exe
Here is screenshot of Windows explorer

If setup successfully, go to My Computer -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.
Then, there should have Wine Mono Windows Support and Wine Gecko.

Here are some screenshots:

8. Manually install Mono and Gecko

After you double click Add/Remove Programs, nothing happenned or prompt some error message (such as no suitable program to open Add/Remove Programs). You may need to install Mono and Gecko, I used following steps.
8.1 Open control.exe in system32


Go to My Computer -> C: -> Windows -> system32, find control.exe and double clicks it


Double click Add/Remove Programs


If there is no any program on the list (in the middle of Add/Remove Programs window), need to install manually.
8.2 Install wine-gecko


Click Install button on the Add/Remove Programs window, then, It will show up file dialog. Find the wine-gecko-x86.msi file which download in previous step, and select & open it.

Then, wine-gecko should show up on the Add/Remove Programs window.


8.3 Install wine-mono


Click Install button on the Add/Remove Programs window, then, It will show up file dialog. Find the winemono-support.msi file which download in previous step, and select & open it.

Then, Wine Mono Windows Support should show up on the Add/Remove Programs window.


Test some Windows programs with Wine

Here are some screenshots:
Run PuTTY

Run Bult-in Windows programs (such as Task Manager, Notepad, and cmd.exe), you can find them in system32 folder
