Documentation:WSL Windows subsystem for Linux

To get started with Linux you may use WSL that is the Windows SubSystem for Linux that is built into Windows10.

Make sure you have the feature on ; Turn windows features on or off -> Windows Subsystem for Linux

Once you have it on you need a Linux install; we use Ubuntu (20.10 at the time of writing)

wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.10/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb

You then install .net core (we use .net core 3.1)

sudo apt-get update; \  
  sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https && \
  sudo apt-get update && \
  sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-3.1
