First order of the day is to get Wine installed.

It's a ridiculously easy process. In Terminal simply type:

XQuartz is a windowing system developed by Apple to allow UNIX applications to run in macOS. While not actively installed with macOS anymore it is once again a simple install only a slightly different install.

In Terminal type:

brew install Caskroom/cask/xquartz

This will download and install XQuartz in a similar way to the previous installs although it also does a couple of macOS side steps that the other apps don't do.
