cant get wine to install

i couldnt figue out how to get wine to install normally after download, so i had to download the source and do it that way. I followed the directions in the read me that came with it, but all I can ever get to is the "make" direction. After it's done with that, it says to do "wine install" in the read me. When I type that in and try it, it says it is an invalid operation. How do I fix it or at least get wine to install another way than from the source?

'make install' with sudo or as root.

Where do you see 'wine install'?

Alred,

Is "make" installed?

What problems are you having installing it normally? Some Linux
distros are easier than others to install on, but if you've ever
installed something from source you'd know that it can be a timely
operation.

First stop downloading Wine: http://www.winehq.org/download
If you really really want to compile Wine yourself: http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages

What error?

You'll have to run 'make install' as root/sudo.
