you can run or install window executable file

Following is the step to Run an EXE File in Linux :

1. try to install PlayonLinux
you can try any of the below methods to install Playonlinux
1a. go to software manager, and search for playonlinux and try to install it there
1b. go to the website https://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html and download the playonlinux.zip and try to install , PlayOnLinux is written in Python, so you have nothing to build, but Python must be installed first.
1c. try to install playonlinux by terminal :

wget -q "http://deb.playonlinux.com/public.gpg" -O - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_maverick.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux


2. now after installation Playonlinux, Launch the Playonlinux and you have a button there to install software and you can find a list of the software which can be installed from directly Playonlinux, search the software and click on the install button. follow the step to install any .exe file

or download any .exe file and open with Playonlinux and try to install it
