Which Linux are you running ?
The following tutorial is for Ubuntu, but most anything that will run on Ubuntu will also run on Linux.
ALSO.....PlayOnLinux ....depending on which Linux you have, playonliux will be included in the software manager.
It is necessary
Do I have to install Wine to use PlayOnLinux?
Yes. You will want to have a 32-bit version of Wine installed on your system,(there is a terminal command on the first linked page to do this) along with the dependencies it suggests. POL will want to see it, and will use it's dependencies concurrently with POL's WineBuilds. Without getting too technical, POL will need it, so it is best to install it.
You have some reading to do in order to get your head around this. It is not for the faint hearted.
You will need to plan your approach so that you get it into some sort of order. Even write down the steps.
