    Welcome to the forums!

    If you have the proper repositories enabled and your sources list updated, you should be able to install it from the command line with apt:

    Code:
    apt-get install wine
    You can check this wiki page for more info on installing wine:

    Ubuntu disables the root account by default, so unless you've enabled the root account, you have to type sudo in front of any command you issue that requires root permissions, and installing any software system wide does require them.
