1) Download WINE from here. Use the repository that it’s most compatible with your computer.
Install winetricks. Good explanation how to do it here.
 

2) Define the architecture. Some people say that iTunes 64-bit work on WINE but I’m still struggling to do so. So I advise to do: export WINEARCH=win32. Install WINE accordingly with this architecture definition.
3) run WINE by given the command ./wine. This will create the standard prefix and will download some dependencies. I hope so far so good for you.
Install the follow packages with winetricks: gdiplus, ie8, msls31, msxml3. only type winetricks <package-name>.
4) Download iTunes 32-bits (My latest success was with the 12.8.150 version, but I think will work with any other as long doesn’t change the inner workings too much).
5) Extract the executable. Type cabextract iTunesSetup.exe.
This will extract several small *.msi packges plus one executable. You can ignore the executable.
You will have the follow artifacts: AppleApplicationSupport.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, Bonjour.msi and iTunes.msi. You can delete all the other artifacts (files).
6) Install the packages using msiexec /i <MSI-file>. The previous name order of the packages is fine.
that’s it
