This is a simple dotfiles and scripts to setup Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) with Ubuntu.
Check linked files to more details.
- apps.sh - installs applications.
- dotfiles.sh - install and configure dotfiles.
- npm.sh - install npm packages.
- setup.sh - main installer.
- util.sh - support functions for other installers.
- gitconfig - basic git settings.
- gitignore_global - global gitignore.
- zshrc - terminal configs with aliases, paths, plugins and theme.
- Windows 10
- WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) with Ubuntu
Note: I use the Windows 10 Setup Script script to configure Windows 10, install some apps and WSL. To use the script, just download and open it with PowerShell. If you use it, skip to step Install dotfiles.
If you do not already have WSL, follow these steps to install. Open Powershell by searching for it in Search and right-clicking for a context menu and clicking “Run as Administrator”. Enter the following command:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName VirtualMachinePlatform
Additionally, if you want to make WSL 2 your default architecture you can do so with this command:
wsl --set-default-version 2
After restarting, install Ubuntu from the Microsoft Store or through the terminal:
curl.exe -L -o ubuntu.appx https://aka.ms/wsl-ubuntu
Launch Ubuntu.exe from the Start Menu. You’ll be asked to enter a username and password (for sudo stuff).
If you already have Windows 10 and WSL installed, run these commands in WSL:
git clone https://github.com/samuelramox/wsl-setup.git
chmod 700 wsl-setup/ -R
cd wsl-setup
./install/setup.sh
Install the Remote - WSL extension in VSCode to get a better experience with WSL.
