Maybe if you have installed Wine. There is no official support
I sincerely regret this!
It looks (to me) like that may be specific to Apktool and the following link is specific to submitting issues related to the Apktool itself.

This thread is NOT the right place to discuss about general modding like editing smali and xml files, editing png, decrypting stuff, app crashes, bypass security etc. None of these are in scope. I'm NOT here to help with it.
General modding question goes to Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Framework and system modding related should be posted at the correct section of your device model, post on Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting if the site does not have a specific model
Please keep this thread on-topic, and anything about apktool related only. I can't help with anything else unless it's really caused by APK Easy Tool or apktool. I won't be able to answer every inquiries stuff that may be already explained here!
FAQ:
Q: Can you support .aab (Android app bundle)/Split APK format?
A: No, I don't have time to research and i'm not fan of app bundle. Just use any APK sites such as APK Combo to download standalone APK, or use a tool called Split APKs Packer (SAP) to merge split APKS into standalone APK. There is no harm working with standalone APK.
If you still need split APK, please look for alternative tools
Q: I'm getting an error "brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutException: could not exec (exit code = -1073741701)"
This is basically the problem with Java 32-bit.
32-bit is old and support will be stopped on apktool 2.6.0. Please consider to switch to Windows 64-bit system if you still using 32-bit system, and install Java 64-bit version or install JDK 8 64-bit or above if you are developing Java. Java and JDK do not really matter for apktool
Q: How can I update or downgrade apktool.jar?
A: Download apktool.jar here: https://bitbucket.org/iBotPeaches/apktool/downloads/
Place apktool.jar inside \APK Easy Tool\Apktool. Restart the tool if running
Go to Options and switch apktool version
Do not forget to clear the framework after switching version!
Q: I'm getting an error "'Java' is not found as an internal or external command"
A: Reinstall Java or JDK
Q: I'm getting an error "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError"
A: Go to Options tab and increase Java heap size
If your system is Windows 64-bit, please uninstall Java 32-bit version (and all other Java versions if you don't use) and install Java 64-bit version or install JDK 64-bit if you are developing Java. Java and JDK do not really matter for apktool
Q: I'm getting an error "Error occurred during initialization of VM. Could not reserve enough space for (...)KB object heap"
A: Go to Options tab and reduce Java heap size. Recommended size: 1024m
If your system is Windows 64-bit, please uninstall Java 32-bit version (and all other Java versions if you don't use) and install Java 64-bit version or install JDK 64-bit if you are developing Java. Java and JDK do not really matter for apktool
Q: Window is not opening but still appear in taskbar
A: The window is out of screen, edit the config.xml and change
Code:<CheckBoxWinPos>true</CheckBoxWinPos>
to
Code:<CheckBoxWinPos>false</CheckBoxWinPos>
Q: Drag and drop does not work
Do not run it as administrator. Windows never allow drag and drop if an application running as administraor for security reason
Q: How to update or delete AETShellExt.dll?
A: If you are using shell extension for APK Easy Tool and you want to update, you must unregister and uninstall it first
Open APK Easy Tool. Go to options -> General and click Uninstall to uninstall Context menu integration. It will ask you for admin rights
Windows 8/10: Open Task Manager and restart all explorer.exe processes
Windows 7: Open Task Manager, end task all explorer.exe processes and run new task explorer.exe
Then you can replace or delete AETShellExt.dll and don't forget SharpShell.dll ServerRegistrationManager.exe too
Q: Is drag and drop supported?
A: Yes it supports drag and drop APK/ZIP file Simply drop a file on buttons to do something.
Examples:
- Drop an APK file on "Decompile APK" button to decompile APK in the same directory
- Drop an APK file outside (drop file on white background) to select APK to work on.
Q: How can I reset APK Easy Tool?
A: Go to Options -> General. Scroll down and click Reset to default. You can also manually delete config.xml beside its exe
Q: Is APK Easy Tool collecting any data?
A: No, we respect your privacy very seriously. It can only connect to my read-only repo server that checks for updates. I don't have a real server that is writeable
Q: Do you release the source code?
A: No, it's my decision and you should respect that. There are already open source projects on Github that can help you getting started
https://github.com/INF1NUM/APKToolGUI
https://github.com/oscar0812/ApktoolFX
Q: Alternatives?
A: I do like other nice alternatives, I don't competing against them. Try out Tickle My Android, a command line tool that are also easy to use. And if you are fan of IDE, try out APK Studio or APKLab. There are a lot more of tools than that. But don't expect that using other tools will always solve any Apktool issues
Troubleshooting:
It's not unusual that it can't decompile or compile. Please try the troubleshooting below to see if it solves the problem:
Keep in mind that there's a big difference between identifying issues related specifically to the "APK Easy Tool Software" and the "Apktool Java Utility (by iBotPeaches).

If nothing solves your problem, please check list of Apktool.jar errors
- Make sure the filename does not contain any symbol or special characters like chinese, japanese, arabic etc since apktool.jar is command line based tool, it does not support it
- Use latest version of apktool.jar (See FAQ Below for more info)
- If you are using latest version of apktool.jar, try use older version of apktool.jar. Sometimes it can mitigate the issue (See FAQ Below for more info)
- Go to Framework tab and clear the framework, and decompile the APK again.
- Decompile APK with "Only disassemble the main dex classes (classes[0-9]*.dex) in the root" checked. Prevents disasemble dex from assets folder) (apktool 2.4.1 and up only)
- Decompile APK with "Don't decode resources.arsc" checked if you are only editing Java (smali) (It will prevent the decompile of resources. This keeps the resources.arsc intact without any decode.)
- Decompile APK with "Don't decode classes.dex" checked if you are only editing the resources (xml) (--no-src will prevent the disassembly of the dex file(s). This keeps the apk dex file(s) and simply moves it during build.)
- Compile with "Use the aapt2 binary instead of aapt" checked (Use the aapt2 binary instead of appt)
- Sometimes Java 8 64-bit works better than Java 8 32-bit. If your system is Windows 64-Bit, please uninstall Java 32-bit version (and all other Java versions you don't use) and install Java 64-bit version (Windows Offline (64-bit)) or install JDK 64-bit if you are developing Java. Java and JDK does not matter for apktool.jar
- Sometimes your antivirus may prevent it from working correctly. Disable it temporary

- Language improvements
- Updated adb, zipalign, aapt, apksigner from Android SDK 30.0.2

- Removed log level
- Removed replace spaces with underscore. You can use PowerToys which has PowerRename that does the job
- Removed signapk.jar since it's too old and slow
