 Hello everybody! In this video, I'm going to show you how to install, configure and use our Linux sub-system in a Windows operating system. Windows 10 will soon develop support for any Linux applications, even those having a graphical interface. The Linux sub-system in Windows was introduced back in 2016, though it supports applications selectively, work slowly and only from the console. Microsoft announced its plans to roll out update WSL2 that would guarantee starting Linux applications with a graphical interface and hardware acceleration. But for now, Microsoft Store offers versions with a console interface in the form of the Terminal, Ubuntu, ColorLinux, SousaLinux and even Debian. Also, the new Terminal is already available in the Store. This is a new unified environment where users can access the conventional command line, CMD, the PowerShell tool and Windows sub-system for Linux. In today's video, you'll see how to install them, configure and start using. From installing an operating system or configuring it to fixing possible bugs and errors are optimized in mobile gadgets, our specialists will answer any questions you ask in your comments under the videos for other people. To stop using a Linux sub-system in Windows 10, you need to enable it in the settings. So go to Control Panel, Programs and Features, turn Windows Features on or off. In the window that opens, check the box for Windows sub-system for Linux. Okay, after that, the computer will restart. Open the Start menu and launch Microsoft Store. Type Linux in the search field. Install the distribution you need by clicking on the Get button. When the installation is complete, the corresponding shortcut will appear in the Start menu. Click here to launch the program. It needs some time to decompress the files, so be patient. When you open it for the first time, give the superuser name and the password. Type the password again. Now the sub-system is installed. This tool will be especially useful for web developers and administrators. The sub-system allows you to use specific applications that are only available for a particular operating system. For convenience, the sub-system should be configured properly. Just modify the registry so that you will be able to open a bash window from any folder, for example, from your project folder, instead of having to type the files to the folder every time. This would be very convenient, right? For this purpose, download a ragged file and open it on your computer. I'll leave the link to the file under the video. If you want to check everything before changes are applied, you can open the file and see what exactly it is going to change. Right-click on the ragged file and select Edit. Double-click to merge data and agree to make changes. After that, the new option will appear in the context menu. Now you can open a bash window from any folder. The next step would be configuring Bash. That is installing the environment for the sub-system, as well as the utilities to work with Gulp or Jekyll. Let's install Node.js, Gulp, Redref and NCU. For example, let's install ScreenFatch. apt install ScreenFatch Here is my Ubuntu sub-system, version 20.04, Bash. mc also works here apt install mc mc Here you can view system files and folders. And M&D will display the drives you can access. As I said before, there are different versions available. If you are a system administrator or security engineer and you need to monitor a network for security breaches and other issues, there's color Linux for you. If you are using OpenSUSE, there is a SUSE version too. You can also install the new terminal, which you can find easily in Microsoft Store. The updated version is more stable and some new features have been added. For example, now you can open several tabs at once. To open a new tab after the terminal is started, click on the plus icon on the tab panel or press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-T. Move between the tabs with the conventional keyboard shortcuts Ctrl-Tab to jump right and Ctrl-Shift-Tab to jump to a tab which is on the left. Ctrl-Shift-W closes the current tab. Tabs can be dragged right or left and their order can be arranged the way you like it. By default, the terminal opens a PowerShell tab, but it supports other shells as well. If you click on the arrow down icon, you will see other options that include Command Prompt, Ubuntu and Azure Cloud Shell. In the new terminal, you can even find emoji. Just copy and paste it here. Text scaling is supported as well. To zoom in or out, hold down the Ctrl button and use the mouse wheel. If you hold down Ctrl-Shift and use the mouse wheel, you can change transparency of the terminal window. Also, the terminal contains some adjustable settings which you can modify by editing the JSON file. To open it, click on the arrow down and then choose Settings. Here are the options you can modify – key bindings, color schemes, custom backgrounds and default profile selection. Visit the Microsoft website for a detailed manual on editing the JSON settings file and list of all settings that can be modified. Finally, in the description. With Windows terminal, Windows users now enjoy lots of options that used to be available in macOS and Linux only. Windows subsystem for Linux will make things easier for web developers and administrators of Unix servers who have to work in Windows. So if you ever need to use Bash or additional features available only in Unix and similar operating system, you don't have to install Linux and use a dual boot configuration. And that is all for now.
