### Why?

Linux VPS or cheaper than windows VPS, hence it is a good choice to use a Linux VPS for running bots 24/7. If you are new to see, watch one or two Youtube tutorials and you are good to go and you have a cheaper solution.

\>>> sudo apt install wine64

or

\>>> sudo apt install wine32 

Check wine version:

\>>> wine --version

####  1.2 b) Install wine from WineHQ repository

Add i386 architecture before installing 64-bit version:

\>>> sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 

**WineHQ signing key:**

\>>> cd /tmp

\>>> wget -nc <https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key>
