    Wine is an awesome  free, legal, and open source software  that lets you run Windows apps without the Windows operating system. 

To install Wine on your Mac, you will need the following:

• OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or above
• Access to an Admin account, with password
• An internet connection
• some time 

Install Xcode

Xcode is an app that is used to compile source code made by Apple.

It's available on the Mac App Store. Use the Mac App Store to install Xcode, and then run it and open the Preferences. Go to the Downloads tab, and if the "Command Line Tools" are available, install them. (If not, that means is already installed.)

Install Homebrew

Homebrew is a package manager that makes installing open source programs easier. Homebrew itself is simple to install: just open up the Terminal and run this command:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Press Enter when asked to proceed . Type in the password to the Admin account on your computer if asked and press Enter. If the installation was successful, and terminal ask you to run brew doctor. Do so by running this command:

brew doctor

Homebrew Cask is a homebrew extension that it uses to install other programs. Install the Cask by running:
