Looking up guides on how to install wine can vary. Some say, “sudo apt install wine” and others have you install the 32 and 64bit versions. My machine is 64 bit, but some guides tell you to enable 32bit.

Do I need to install both 64 and 32bit versions? Or is just using “install wine” sufficient?

    sudo apt install wine should be fine for most applications, if any program needed something else it’d tell you. If you’re using wine for gaming, though, you would want to use something like Lutris as it uses a version of wine specifically for games

        You really want to deal with wine through another layer like lutris if you’re new to wine. Lutris doesn’t just bring a different wine version, it brings environment variables, dxvk… Wine alone does not work well, it needs to be setup.
