What is Wine?
We'll steal a Wiki definition once again... Wine is a free software application that aims to allow Unix-like computer operating systems on the x86 or x86-64 architecture to execute programs written for Microsoft Windows.
DirectX is a colection of API's created to simplify viewings related to multimedia content, like games. Even if DirectX has been designed and developed based on the operating system Windows, we can install it on Ubuntu using the virtualization software Wine. (In this tutorial we suppose that you've allready installed wine, if not, follow this tutorial first)
To install DirectX on Ubuntu first thing we need to do, is download the installer, which is an aplication with .exe extension, available for download here. Once we've downloaded the aplication the only thing we need to do is execute it with a duoble-click on the file.
Here are some screenshots of the installation process.
