You can now create new instances of the "base" environment by importing the. for a Ubuntu distribution wsl -export Ubuntu ubuntu.tar When you are happy with the environment, use exit to exit and return to the Windows shell.Įxport the environment with the following command: wsl -export Į.g. We will use this environment as the base for the other copies, so set up anything you want to be replicated in the others. Once you have your preferred distribution installed, use wsl -d to open the environment. You can also install further distributions either from the Windows Store or using wsl -install -d (use wsl -list -online to view available distributions, for example Debian or openSUSE-42). Install a Linux distributionīy default, if you ran wsl -install then Ubuntu will have been installed as the default distribution (you can change the distribution that is installed using wsl -install -d instead). If you are running an older build of Windows, you may be able to enable WSL following these manual steps. If you are running Windows 10 version 2004 and higher or Windows 11, then simply run the following in a Windows shell (command prompt or powershell): wsl -install Enable WSLįirstly, ensure you have WSL enabled.
In this post, we will go through the steps of how to do this. This can be useful for setting up isolated development environments, as one example. However, there is no out-of-the-box way to install multiple instances of the same distribution.
You can even install multiple types of distributions side-by-side. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows you run a Linux enviroment on Windows, using your favourite Linux distribution. By Mike Larah Software Engineer III 19th November 2021
