Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

1. Start windows power shell
2. Check the list of available Linux distributions available for download

wsl -l –o

3. Install the latest Ubuntu distribution available

wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04

You will be prompted to create a UNIX username and password.
This UNIX username and password have no relationship to your Windows username and password,
so to avoid any confusion use a different username

4. Start up WSL
In general, to start using WSL, open up a PowerShell terminal and type wsl.
If you’ve set up WSL correctly, you’ll enter a bash terminal running on
the WSL distro of choice. From here, you can run any Linux commands you wish.
Your unix user directory is located at:

/home/<your unix username>

Your Windows user directory is located at:

/mnt/c/Users/<your windows username>

5. To access files in WSL from Windows use

\\wsl$\Ubuntu-22.04\home\ <your unix name>
