Description
Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD.

Environment Modules
Run module spider wine to find out what environment modules are available for this application.
System Variables
- HPC_WINE_DIR - installation directory
