To install Wine, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.6
sudo apt-get install winetricks

Based on your comment that you don't have a internet connection.

Now since you don't have an internet connection, you need to download Wine 1.6 file. Once downloaded, copy the file as is to the Ubuntu system, and then look at How to install a .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2) file

    @mayurMehta If you don't have an Internet connection, then having a working fetch command would almost certainly be useless. The fetch command, like wget (which you should already have) retrieves files from a network server. Unless you are running your own server that has the necessary files, this is probably the Internet. If possible, you should try connect the Ubuntu system to the Internet. – Eliah Kagan Aug 18 '13 at 10:29

You said in your question that you are "trying to install package fetch".

fetch is a simple, flexible download tool built on the HTTP Fetcher library. There are other utilities out there that handle HTTP downloads (wget) but a lot of them are intended more for mirroring websites and the like; fetch allows you to download a file at the command line by basically saying 'fetch URL'. fetch can be downloaded www.sourceforge.net fetch webpage.

Before installing fetch, the HTTP Fetcher library must be installed. It can be downloaded from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/http-fetcher/?source=directory

To install fetch uncompress the fetch package by running tar xf fetch-1.0.tar.gz and from the main fetch directory, type:

sudo apt-get install build-essential    
./configure
make
sudo make install

That's it. The program should then be located in /usr/local/bin/ (unless you specified a different prefix). Note: the above commands are for a basic install, you can also use checkinstall to make a .deb package.

  • sir I am getting an error of unable to loackate build-essentail package – mayur Mehta Aug 18 '13 at 12:22
  • @mayurMehta You could also try installing the build-essential package using the Ubuntu Software Center. By the way, in your comment you used build-essentail. It should be build-essential. And if you don't have an internet connection, then you can't download it, so you also can't install it. – karel Aug 18 '13 at 12:36
  • sir but I don't have an internet conection in ubuntu but it is in windows that's why i have downloaded build-essential.deb file but how to install it? – mayur Mehta Aug 18 '13 at 12:40
  • @mayurMehta Just double-click on the build-essential.deb file and the Ubuntu Software Center will open and ask you if you want to install it. Then click on Install and authenticate with your password to install it using the Ubuntu Software Center. – karel Aug 18 '13 at 12:49
  • i can't install it. when I am installing build-essential_11.4build1_amd64.deb getting error of wrong architecture still i am using amd turior 64 and then i am trying to install build-essential_11.4build1_i386.deb getting error of Dependenci is not satisfiable:g++(>=4:4.3.1) Please help me – mayur Mehta Aug 18 '13 at 14:23
  • For sure you've got the wrong package. The package you downloaded resembles the package for Ubuntu 10.04 which is already End of Life. Actually it's not even the right package for Ubuntu 10.04. If you're still using Ubuntu 10.04, you should give up and install a supported version of Ubuntu. The latest Long Term Support version of Ubuntu is Ubuntu 12.04. Also I think you probably won't be able to get your modem device driver to work using Wine. Your modem probably is not Linux compatible. – karel Aug 18 '13 at 14:41
  • I am using 12. somthing version of ubntu and i have internet connection through software called unicom connection manager – mayur Mehta Aug 18 '13 at 14:44
  • Yeah, there's the problem. Your Unicom USB Modem is not Linux compatible. – karel Aug 18 '13 at 14:48
  • so that is why iam trying install wine – mayur Mehta Aug 18 '13 at 14:49
  • W-I-N-E stands for Wine Is Not Emulator. Wine is often no good at emulating hardware environments necessary to install device drivers in Wine. – karel Aug 18 '13 at 14:52
  • wine 1.6 can run this .exe file – mayur Mehta Aug 18 '13 at 14:54
