dotfiles_wsl

Dot files and install scripts for my own dev environment configuration of WSL2

Prerequisites

A Debian wsl2 distro must be installed.

You can follow this guide to enable wsl.

Once enabled, install Debian with the following command:

wsl --install Debian

Then upgrade the version of Debian to wsl2:

wsl --set-version Debian 2

Ensure systemd is enabled by running the wsl instance and editing the file /etc/wsl.conf with the following content:

[boot]
systemd=true

Then shutdown your wsl instance with the following command:

wsl --shutdown

To install everything you first need to update your debian distro as follows:

sudo apt update

Then you have to ensure you have git installed:

sudo apt install git

Once git is installed, clone the repository via this command:

git clone https://github.com/hadestructhor/dotfiles_wsl.git

Once the repo clone, cd into dotfiles_wsl.

Once that is done, you need to make the install_dev_env.sh command executable via this command:

sudo chmod +x install_dev_env.sh

Then all you need to do is run:

./install_dev_env.sh
