guide to using vsts

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
hello

i am trying to use a vst from a youtube tutorial. i am using linux on a non-windows machine (the computer is not manufactured by windows and runs linux). i just need a little help with getting things started. i noticed that my plug in wasn't loading so i checked the terminal output (im using the app image). it says wine wasn't found. so i went here:

https://docs.lmms.io/user-manual/4-prod ... using-vsts

>You need to install Wine before you install LMMS' AppImage for Linux. The first time you start LMMS through the AppImage file, Wine may ask you to install upgrades - be sure to accept them all.
Afterwards go into Edit > Settings > Misc, and Disable Sync VST plugins to host playback. This works best for Linux.

i have a few questions:

1 - what version of wine do i need?

2 - do i need to delete the lmms app image file and re-download it again for this to work?

thanks!
You don't have to redownload the appimage file.

Just open your package manager and search for wine.

After you installed wine, start LMMS again, and now vst should work.

After installing wine, you should also see, when starting LMMS, some wine configuration being done.
Just wait until its finished. It might also ask you to install more wine stuff, accept this. Do not cancel this.

If this fails, and your on a debian based distro, you might need wine staging.
To keep this simple a newer version of wine.
