CrossOver is a great place to start and with the free trial it's low
risk. It also installs pretty easily.

I've been a professional Mac and Unix/Linux programmer for 25 years.

I signed up with CodeWeavers as an "advocate" for SeeYou in September
2006 but it turned out that I was too stupid to figure out how to
install it and use it. The details are lost in the mists of time, but
as I recall Crossover expected you to have some kind of standard
Windows installer package and it somehow hijacked the install process,
but all I had was an .exe file. That would be no problem on a real
Windows, but I didn't know anything about either Windows or WINE in
order to poke around in the innards myself and put it in the right
place.

Maybe it's all become easier since then.
