Command Line Installation

wsl --install

Post Installation Steps

  • Open a terminal and run the command `wsl --list` to see which Linux distributions are available.
  • To start using WSL, you can launch your preferred Linux distribution from the Start menu or by searching for it in the Windows search bar.
  • Once you've launched your Linux distribution, you can use familiar commands like `ls`, `cd`, and `mkdir` to navigate and organize files.
  • To check if WSL is running correctly, run the command `cat /proc/version` in a terminal. This will display the version of the kernel running on WSL.
