Installation of Windows Subsystem for Linux


Disclaimer: This is the first release of Bash in Windows. It is in "Beta" version meaning it is not complete. Some things will work and some things will not.

Prerequisites:
  1. Your PC must be running a 64-bit version of Windows 10 Anniversary Update build 14393 or later.

    To find your PC's CPU architecture and Windows version/build number, open Settings>System>About. Look for the OS Build and System Type fields.

    If your build is below 14393, try checking for updates









  2. Installation
    In order to run Bash on Windows, you will need to manually:

    1. Turn-on Developer Mode
    2. Enable the "Windows Subsystem for Linux (beta)" feature via the GUI or the command-line:

Turn-on Developer Mode
  1. Open Settings -> Update and Security -> For developers
  2. Select the Developer Mode radio button
  3. This will take a while depending on the speed of you internet connection.


Enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux feature (GUI)



  1. From Start, search for "Turn Windows features on or off" (type 'turn')
  2. Select Windows Subsystem for Linux (beta)
  3. Click OK.
Enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux feature (Command-Line)

  1. Open a PowerShell prompt as administrator and run:
    2. Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
  2. Restart your PC. 

Run Bash on Windows
  1. Open a command prompt
  2. Run bash.

After you have accepted the License, the Ubuntu user-mode image will be downloaded and a "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" shortcut will be added to your start menu.

To launch Bash on Windows, either run bash  at a cmd/PowerShell command-prompt, or use the start menu shortcut.

After installation your Linux distribution will be located at:  %localappdata%\lxss\ This directory is marked as a hidden system folder because creating or modifying using Windows tools and apps may cause corruption and data loss in your Linux files. Please read this blog post  for more information.

Create a UNIX user

 The first time you install Bash on Windows, you will be prompted to create a UNIX username and password.



This UNIX username and password can be different from, and has no relationship to your Windows username and password.
