Linux is a clone of Unix and uses POSIX API.
But it is not 100% compatible.
It is not certified as a UNIX(TM).

to install wine from terminal, open a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Please do this:

To fully check and upgrade your system using terminal using command line, and to install wine and csound
open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal

Tip: right click with mouse on the terminal title caption and select the item "Always on Top" doing this you will force the terminal window to stay on top of the other windows and you will find very easy to copy single row from this web page into the terminal...
Something more about using the terminal https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

Then type or better copy and paste a row a time then press enter:
(Tip: select the single row to copy then right click into the terminal and to quick paste click with middle button of mouse )

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine csound

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps
