How to open a Windows program in Linux (with Wine)

You need to install Wine: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine Download the Windows program.  THEN, steps 1-3: 1. Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal 2. cd to your folder that has the install.exe file in it (you might have needed to extract / copy it to your folder (out of its Zip file). Let's pretend it is in "Downloads," so type cd home/yourcomputername/Downloads/ ... It should go there. If not, try to correct spelling mistakes. 3. type wine setup.exe (replace whatever the program file.exe name is unless it actually is "setup.exe". Now your program should pop up and start installing. If it doesn't, try to correct spelling of the things you typed in.
