I follow the download steps and did everything, but when I clicked the download/install link, it gives me pop-up error: "cannot find 'wine' "

My brother also has ubuntu and he gets the same error, please help

thanks

did you:

Sudo apt-get install wine

?

After that you just type "wine" into konsole.
