How do I run an executable in Linux terminal?

Run the .exe file either by going to “Applications,” then “Wine” followed by the “Programs menu,” where you should be able to click on the file. Or open a terminal window and at the files directory,type “Wine filename.exe” where “filename.exe” is the name of the file you want to launch.
