Install WSL from Ubuntu and Conda

To get "Ubuntu on Windows" and other linux kernels see instructions for installing WSL2. It is significantly better, but may require you to update your windows version.

Hint on copy-paste: One way to paste into a Windows terminal (of any sort) is the <ctrl-c> text somewhere else and then, while selected in the terminal at the cursor, to <right click> the mouse (which pastes)

When wsl is installed, you can go wsl in any powershell terminal to enter

General Setup

To get git credentials integrated, in a windows terminal (i.e. not in the WSL terminal) run

 git config --global credential.helper wincred

Then in a WSL terminal (within VS Code or otherwise, but replacing with your email and name),

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core/git-credential-wincred.exe"

(See more details in Sharing Credentials )

cd ~
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt install make gcc unzip
sudo apt-get update
