first... take a look in the files for a INSTALL file or a README file and read the text on the details of the installation...
Next odds are you will need to compile the program... that is done buy first..
Make sure that you have all the install parts to make a compile...
sudo apt-get install build-esentials
next ... just fallow waht it says to do in the readme...
something to do with make make install, that kind of stuff. did you fine the readme file?

Hi Cameron,

You allready have Wine installed.

Just a helpful tip, it is not best practice to split your thread, i.e. Start out with one topic & then introduce new ones. Yes I know we see it often, & many of us are guilty of it from time to time!

Still... You can overwhelm your helpers, & end up with less help...
