Installing MobaXterm on Ubuntu Linux

As we already know MobaXterm is a Windows application, hence not available for Ubuntu or any other Linux system but don’t worry using Wine we can use it without any major compatibility issues. In our testing it worked smoothly, so, here are the steps we used to install MobaXterm on Ubuntu 22.04 and 20.04 Linux…

1. Access command Terminal

We need to access the command terminal of Ubuntu with a user account that has sudo access to install applications. Now, to open the terminal, use the key combination – Ctrl+Alt+T. After opening the terminal, don’t forget to run the system update command once, here is that:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

2. Add WineHQ Repository

The version of Wine available through the default Ubuntu repository is not the latest one, therefore, we add WineHQ’s official repository, so that we can have the latest Wine version to install the various Windows-compatible applications without producing issues.

Add Wine GPG key:

sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings

sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

Add the Wine repository

For Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) users:

sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources

For Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) users:

sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/focal/winehq-focal.sources

After adding the repository, run the system update command to let the system know about the newly added repository and its packages:

sudo apt update

3. Installing Wine on Ubtunu

Now, we can install the latest version of Wine (stable) using the given command. It will use the system default package manager – APT to download and configure the stable package of Wine.

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

MobaXterm is a freeware software and not available to download using the APT, therefore visit the official website of it and download the latest version. Here we are downloading the Home Edition, which is free.

2. Extracting Zipped file

After downloading the file using the system browser, it will be automatically saved in the Downloads folder. Now, go to your Ubuntu’s File Manager and extract the zipped file. Just right-click on the file and select the “Open With Archive Manager” option.

Run MobaXterm with Wine

On the Archive Manager window, click the “Extract” button, to finally complete the process…

Use Archive Manager

Installing with Wine Windows Program loader
