This page is but a placeholder for now. @keithzg will probably fill it in the next time he creates a new WSL install on a Windows instance. Todo: * wsl.exe command mention * Reckon with accessing WSL filesystem from Windows, https://stackoverflow.com/a/59226195/2808933 may have the solution for Legolas

1. In an Admin PowerShell session, run `dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart` 2. If you want to use hardware virtualization stuff then also run `dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart` but honestly I've never yet once done this, especially since I'm often using Windows in a VM already and nesting gets . . . tricky. 3. Now (maybe after a restart) you should have the `wsl` command available to you. Get a list of distros with `wsl --online --list` 4. Install your distro of choice with `wsl --install -d distroname` Official docs (not always up to date): * https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install * https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual * https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-on-server
