I have no idea about tuning and widebands but how hard are they to install and what is a good one to buy?
Also is there anyone around eau claire, wisconsin that has hpt, I got a tune file I want to try on my car once I get some parts
Easy to install, AEM UEGO is a very good one to buy. They come with instructions. You merely need to tap a power and ground wire for power, and weld a bung (threaded ring) onto your exhaust piping just after your header collector so the sensor can screw in.

Thats the hard part, I don't have a welder or access to a good one.
You take it to Midas.... or any of your local automotive shops, mechanics, or a performance shop. I wired mine up all the way, left the sensor and wiring tied down in the engine bay and had a shop weld the bung and screw in the wideband.

What is necessary for the sensor to interface with HPT?
I take it there is a power, gound and signal wire?
How does HPT read the signal from the wideband?
HP will read any 0-5 volt reference signal. It has AEM and Innovate pre-defined as a PID or sensor .. you just add it. On HPT Pro, its a matter of wiring the output from the wideband (the 5v signal) and the ground to the pins on HPT.
since HPT will log anything, you can do custom sensors as well.. just set the values, and they will be graphed. Once you have the data, you can use that in histograms to tune.

Keep a user-defined PID in mind because the AEM gauge may not read exactly what HPT is showing, so you have to adjust the offset on the custom PID until they do match...if you care
You don't need a standalone gauge if you don't want to. You can calibrate the reading on the laptop using the voltage and the numbers in the manual the wideband comes with.

So . . .
How do I get HPT to read the wide band on the regular (not pro) version?
My understanding is . . .
1. get the wide band sensor installed in a bung welded into the header collector
2. (Where do I wire the sensor up to?)
Also do I want a 5 or 6 wire sensor or does it matter?

you need the sensor AND CONTROLLER.... you cannot just buy a wideband o2 sensor alone and expect to wire it in to anything.... the controller converts the WB sensor signal into useful data that can be read with a gauge or HPT....
and i may be wrong... but i am fairly certain only HPT pro can read custom inputs. the standard version only reads what comes through the obd port (and your wideband doesnt).
