Like most of us know the wine is used to run windows applications on linux. But setting it is always difficult. For example, if the windows program you need some prerequisites that do not exist or is not implemented in the wine then you should go to find on the internet. Examples include fonts mscore, Internet Explorer, DCOM, etc. And this guide explains how to install winetricks in ubuntu.
Download wine
Type the following code in terminal
sudo apt-get install wine
Download winetricks
Type the following code in terminal
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
