In the Microsoft store, a search for WSL will bring up common distros. Open the Microsoft Store and choose your favourite Linux distribution. Install your Linux Distribution of Choice Once you agree to send them all your data, they will invite you into the program and under Settings > Windows Insider Programme you have the option to pick your channel, which will install the required version of Windows 10 to enable WSL 2. Since MS hasn’t yet released WSL 2 on stock Windows 10, you must sign over your details to Microsoft to enable the Windows Insider Programme. Get Windows Update Assistant.įor this setup I went with WSL 2. Please update to the latest Windows version if your build is lower than 18361. (Or enter the ver command in Windows Command Prompt). – Check your Windows version by selecting the Windows logo key + R, type winver, select OK. – Running Windows 10, updated to version 1903 or higher, Build 18362 or higher.

This was my first setup and while I was running some deep neural network models, my Surface Pro 3 was grinding to a halt. This article will be 1 of 3 setup articles I plan to write. So I have to give credit to Chris for his post and please check it out as he goes into much more depth than what I will cover.
