first you will need to install Wine which is a compability layer that allows you to run WIndows programs on Linux, you can get it here https://wiki.winehq.org/Download

you also need 32bit libraries, your distribuition probably has them installed by default

now that you have WINE installed, you can download the client and run the installer with WINE https://www.brick-hill.com/client/

after installing the client, you will need to set it up to be launched through your web browser. Open whatever text editor you use and save the following information in /home/YourUsername/.local/share/applications/ and as brick-hill.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Brick Hill
Exec=wine "/home/YourUsername/.wine/drive_c/users/YourUsername/Application Data/Brick Hill/Player.exe" %u
Type=Application
Terminal=false
MimeType=text/html;x-scheme-handler/brickhill.legacy;

and now type this in your terminal:
xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler brickhill.client brick-hill.desktop

now try joining a game from the site and see if it works!
