Using Linux Subsystem on Windows
Updated 2,282 Days AgoPublic

If Cygwin is not appealing to you, you can install the Linux Subsystem on Windows by heading over to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10.

IMPORTANT: You may choose any distro you like, but keep in mind all files created on the Linux Subsystem is local to the machine. Be sure to back the files up elsewhere.

Install the following applications into your Linux Subsystem: xopenssh, curl, wget, rsync, scp*, gedit, g++, gcc, make, cmake, xlaunch, xinit, tmux, x11-fonts-*, xorg-docs, xorg-server, gdb, vim, nano.
