About

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a powerful way for you to run your Linux command-line tools, utilities and applications, all unmodified and directly on Windows without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dual boot setup.

You can install WSL right away by running this command inside of your Windows command line:

wsl --install

You can learn more about best practices for setup, overviews of WSL and more at our WSL documentation page.

WSL also has related open source repositories:
