Eh !? Run Linux on Windows? I can do it! !! (I set WSL2 and put Ubuntu)

Worker skills

--PHPer with backend as the main battlefield --For business, build a CentOS virtual environment with Vagrant + ansible ――Fields that are not good at infrastructure and virtualization --Docker is difficult. Still from now on

First, check the version of Windows 10

Specify the file name with Win + R and the execution will start, so type "winver" to check the version and OS build. When I tried it, it had to be version 2004, so I updated it from here. (↑ capture is after update)

Enable the "Windows Subsystem for Linux" option

From the official document

The "Windows Subsystem for Linux" optional feature must be enabled before installing a Linux distribution on Windows. Open PowerShell as an administrator and do the following:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart

Let's open it properly as an administrator when opening powershell. If you do it by someone other than the administrator, an error will occur (I did it)

Enable the optional component of "Virtual Machine Platform"

The "Virtual Machine Platform" optional feature must be enabled before installing WSL 2. Open PowerShell as an administrator and do the following:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

Reboot once here

Set WSL 2 as the default version

wsl --set-default-version 2

I got an error once when I executed this (I forgot to capture .. I feel like 0x1bc came out) Apparently the WSL2 Linux kernel needs to be updated. From here Let's drop and update It will be updated if you proceed to Next innocently. When the update is completed, set the default version of WSL again It's OK.

Ubuntu installation

Open the Microsoft Store and install Ubuntu It took about 5 minutes to install. I will start it immediately. You will be asked for a new user name and password, so set it as you like.

that's all. Enjoy Ubuntu Life on Windows: muscle:
