If just for regular system Wine without a external Wine manager you'd download the latest release from here https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases (top download under assets). Then you follow this section in readme https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk#how-to-use
Note the first line setting a path to your wine prefix is only if it's not the default location.

When it says to do overrides that means set the DLL names to native under the libraries tab in winecfg.
(gif below shows native, builtin)

If the readme is too much for you, you should probably stick to something that handles installing dxvk for you. Like steam proton, lutris, bottles, ...

ok, installed teh dxvk with git clone. does that count as install?

No. Follow the guide above or utilize third party tools to manage it like bottles, Heroic, Lutris or Steam. The AUR also have a package

The gist of it is to download a release (top file attached under assets at the bottom of a release number). Copy the dll files into the system32 (64bit) and syswow64 (32bit) folders in your Wine prefix (default is at ~/.wine/). Then set the dll overrides through winecfg (by calling that command in terminal) to native under the libraries tab.

The instructions are for Linux. You should never put dlls such as provided by dxvk into your system folders on Windows as you will very likely wreck your OS.

For usage on Windows you just copy them next to the games exe (choose correct bitness) and it should usually work. Though note Windows is not officially supported.
