【Basic Introduction】
Wine is a tool for executing some Windows applications under the Linux operating system! If you want to run Windows programs on Linux, Wine will be an indispensable tool for you! WINE (WINdows Emulator) is an implementation of Windows 3.x and Windows APIs on X and UNIX. It is a Windows compatibility layer, or simply put, a Windows emulator. This layer provides both a development toolkit (Winelib) for moving back and forth between Windows source code and UNIX, as well as a program loader that allows binary files from Windows 3.1/95/NT to run on Intel Unix and its derivatives without any modification. Wine can work on most UNIX versions, including Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows because it is entirely composed of free code, but it can freely use the local system's DLLs if they are available. Wine is fully open-source and freely distributed.
