Pi-apps / wine on raspberry pi



From page to install notepad++ and run it on the pi
 
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Botspot/pi-apps/master/install | bash
  
Use the pi-app to install notepad++.  wine will be installed if not installed by installing other x86 app.  Need to change kernel page size to 4k from default 16k, which requires a reboot, then redoing the install.  Wine install starts after that reboot.
