Re: please help,

Linux systems require users to authenticate in order to update the system. It is just the way it works. MacOS requires a password as well and Windows requires you to click the button in a dialog box. Those actions are authentication as well. Authentication is just part of using newer multi-user OSes. You will just need to enter your password.

I do not know anything about using Wine. I am sure someone else will chime in and provide you with some help.

Re: please help,

In regards to WINE, go into your programs menu and you should see an entry there for Wine.  In the Wine sub-menu, you should see an entry labelled, "Control Panel".  Double click on "Control Panel", then, you will see an icon labelled "Add/Remove Programs".  Double click on it, then click the "Install" button to install new MS-Windows software (these should be .EXE files).
