WSL

Return to top README.md

List of commands

To check what distributions of WSL are installed

wsl --list --verbose

Expect to see Ubuntu on the list. If not… go install it. If you have Docker installed, that may add two distributions.

To set a default distribution

wsl --set-default <distribution name>

To launch a specific distribution

wsl --distribution <distribution name>

Can use optional --user option

Once you run this and a WSL terminal opens up, you may not be in the home directory, so may be good idea to run

cd ~
