sudo apt-get install wine
This command will update your system and install Wine. Once the installation is complete, you can check the version of Wine installed by typing the following command:
wine --version
Step 2: Download Adobe Photoshop
The next step is to download Adobe Photoshop. You can download the Windows version of Adobe Photoshop from the official Adobe website or any other trusted source.
Step 3: Install Adobe Photoshop
Once you have downloaded the Adobe Photoshop installer, you can install it using Wine. To do this, navigate to the directory where the installer is located and type the following command:

Replace photoshop_installer.exe with the actual name of the installer file.
The Adobe Photoshop installer will start, and you can proceed with the installation process just like you would on a Windows machine. Follow the on-screen instructions and install Adobe Photoshop on your Kali Linux machine.
Step 4: Run Adobe Photoshop
Once the installation is complete, you can run Adobe Photoshop by typing the following command in the terminal:
wine "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop [version]\Photoshop.exe"
Replace [version] with the version of Adobe Photoshop, you installed. For example, if you installed Adobe Photoshop CC 2021, the command would be:

The first time you run Adobe Photoshop, Wine may need to install additional components. Allow Wine to install these components, and Adobe Photoshop will start.
