What did you install, where from and how did you install it?

How have you tried to start it?

I istalled wine from "Ubuntu-Software". After the instalation there was no Item in the APP-menu and the Option "start wine" in "Ubuntu-Software" didn´t work.

Installing and running an app
Let’s install a very popular programmers notepad—Notepad++. You’ll want to download the file from a location that doesn’t include third-party app install options (which can cause the application installation to fail). To be safe, download the Notepad++ installer from Filehippo. You will find .exe file for Notepad in your Downloads directory. Right-click that file and select Open in Wine Windows Program Loader
