Mention Wine version requirements and user guide
As part of the usage section of the readme. As noted in #58, the readme never actually explicitly stated that you have to install and use Wine.

### Preliminaries
|
||||
|
||||
YABridge builds upon VST2 plugins installed via Wine.
|
||||
Yabridge requires a recent version of Wine Staging. Users of Debian, Ubuntu,
|
||||
Linux Mint and Pop!\_OS should install Wine Staging from the [WineHQ
|
||||
repositories](https://wiki.winehq.org/Download) as the versions of Wine provided
|
||||
by those distro's repositories will be too old to be used with yabridge.
|
||||
|
||||
The recommended Wine version is the *staging* version installed directly from
|
||||
WineHQ (your packaged version may be too old): https://wiki.winehq.org/Download
|
||||
`sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging`
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't have any VST2 plugins installed, download an example one, e.g.
|
||||
https://valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-supermassive/. Note: you will
|
||||
need to execute the .exe installer in your Wine environment in order to produce
|
||||
the VST2 .dll files.
|
||||
|
||||
Yabridge will use the dll file
|
||||
(e.g. `~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/VST2/ValhallaSupermassive_x64.dll`)
|
||||
to output a `ValhallaSupermassive_x64.so` file in the same folder, usable in linux.
|
||||
|
||||
After installation, you'll run
|
||||
`yabridgectl add "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/VST2/"`
|
||||
and then access this same folder in your DAW for import (e.g. for BitWig,
|
||||
add the folder via `Settings > Locations > Plug-in Locations > + Add Location`) .
|
||||
For a general overview on how to use Wine to install Windows applications, check
|
||||
out Wine's [user guide](https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_User%27s_Guide#Using_Wine).
