Follow instructions for your distribution: https://wiki.winehq.org/Download


For other distributions:
Arch: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wine#Installation
Alpine: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Gaming_on_Alpine (sudo apk add wine)

To compile wine (build your own package): https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Wine

Oh, nvm, that's aarch64. Wine's download wiki won't help as it's all x86/x86_64

Anyways, you would still follow guides according to your distribution. In most cases, you would need to compile Wine. You may also compile it as x86_64 and use box32+box64 for more compatibility

I'm trying to get wine installed on a raspberry pi 4 myself running pios x64. I found a tutorial online for installing box64 and followed that. In that same tutorial is a link to box86. I am currently following that to get 32bit support. After that, I believe there are pre-made images for debian for wine on playonlinux.

Box86 is needed for x86 hardware emulation, and similarly box64 is needed for x64 hardware emulation. You'll need a minimum of box86. If your hardware has a 64bit processor then you should also install box64. Then install the wine packages.

Once those are installed, the tutorial says you use "wine" for 32bit windows applications and wine64 for 64bit windows applications - remembering they have to be run via box86 or box64.

I don't know if that helps you or gives you a starting point. I'm new at it myself and am trying to get x86/x64 windows applications running on a pi (which is arm architecture - hence the need for the emulators).

Looks like my browser and malwarebytes for some reason won't let me go to the site for playonlinux, so I found another link I am trying to follow:

<url>https://forum.armbian.com/topic/19526-h ... re%20</url>

Anyway around it, there's no "easy" way to just make it work. You have to do the work to get the results.

BTW - that didn't work out the best. I can't even run winecfg. Errors about file elf headers.
