I found a program I want to use with my publishing group, but they are only currently shipping a Windows and a Mac version. Here I talk about the challenges with running this application and walking through some of my trouble shooting. Hopefully this will help you to install necessary Windows programs on Linux.
#Wine #PublisherRocket #Linux

Publishing Group:
https://owicpub.com

PublisherRocket:
https://publisherrocket.com/

Steps:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
wget -qO - https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ disco main'
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging
sudo apt install winetricks

I then adding the .net45 framework and the program was able to run.
