The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) has opened up a new world for developers, allowing them to run Linux distributions alongside their Windows environment. The release of WSL 2 introduced support for more Linux distributions, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). In this article, we’ll explore the steps to get started with RHEL on WSL, enabling developers to work seamlessly with Windows and Linux environments.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites in place:

• WSL 2
• Installed RHEL on WSL

Launch the RHEL distro on WSL

This article assumes that you have successfully installed the WSL CLI on your machine, obtained the RHEL image from the hybrid cloud, and imported the RHEL image into WSL.

Note: All following commands are performed in PowerShell with administrator permissions.

As demonstrated below, list the installed Linux distributions on your Windows Subsystem for Linux.

> wsl -l
Windows Subsystem for Linux Distributions:
rhel8 (Default)

Initiate the image launch, specifying the distribution name. For this article it is rhel8.

> wsl -d rhel8
[root@user directory]#

Verify the installed version using the following command:

[root@nagesh home]# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux"
VERSION="8.9 (Ootpa)"
ID="rhel"

With the assistance of the subscription-manager command, register the machine on the Red Hat Insights portal using the following link.

Note: If you do not have a Red Hat account, please use the link above to create one.

Verify the current status of your system using the following command:

# subscription-manager status

Register the system using the following command, utilizing the same user ID and password as for Red Hat Insights:

# subscription-manager register

Associate the subscription with the RHEL system using the following command:

#  subscription-manager attach

Update the RHEL packages using the following command:

# dnf update

Deploy sample app on WSL

This article uses a Java sample application designed to run on the Quarkus framework. However, you can employ any programming language and framework of your choice. Follow the steps below to deploy the initial hello-world app on your WSL.

Install Quarkus via the command-line interface using the following packages:

# curl -Ls https://sh.jbang.dev | bash -s - trust add https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/quarkus/quarkus-cli/
# curl -Ls https://sh.jbang.dev | bash -s - app install --fresh --force quarkus@quarkusio

Restart the terminal to apply the changes made by the Quarkus CLI to the RHEL distribution:

# quarkus

Generate an application using the Quarkus command as illustrated below:

# quarkus create

Inspect the application directory that is generated after executing the above command:

#cd code-with-quarkus

Execute the hello-world application using the following command:

Brief: This beginner’s tutorial shows you how to install bash on Windows.

Linux on Windows is a reality, thanks to the partnership between Canonical (parent company of Ubuntu) and Microsoft. When Microsoft’s CEO announced that the Bash shell was coming to Windows, a number of people just couldn’t believe it. #BashOnWindows trended on Twitter for days, such was the impact of this news.

But Bash on Windows was not available to everyone immediately. People had to install the Windows 10 technical preview to install Linux on Windows 10. But this is not the case anymore. The Windows 10 anniversary upgrade is here and now you can easily get Bash on Windows. But before we go on installing Bash on Windows, let me tell you a little more about it.

What is Bash on Windows?

Bash on Windows provides a Windows subsystem and Ubuntu Linux runs atop it. It is not a virtual machine or an application like Cygwin. It is complete Linux system inside Windows 10.

Apple ios 9 update download. Load more results. Apple Footer Apple Support. Jul 22, 2019  With this update your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch become more intelligent and proactive with powerful search and improved Siri features. New multitasking features for iPad allow you to work with two apps simultaneously, side-by-side or with the new Picture-in-Picture feature. And, built-in apps become more powerful with detailed transit information in Maps, a redesigned Notes app, and an all.

Basically, it allows you to run the same Bash shell that you find on Linux. This way you can run Linux commands inside Windows without the needing to install a virtual machine, or dual boot Linux and Windows. You install Linux inside Windows like a regular application. This is a good option if your main aim is to learn Linux/Unix commands.

I recommend reading this article to know more about Bash on Windows.

Method 1: Install Linux Bash Shell on Windows 10 Newer Versions

Good thing is that Fall Creator’s Update makes it easier to install Bash on Windows 10. You can get it in one click from Windows Store. There are still a few things to do however.

I am installing Ubuntu using Windows 10 Linux subsytem. You can also use SUSE Linux. The procedure is same for both distributions.

Step 1: Enable “Windows Subsystem for Linux” feature

The first thing you need to do is to enable Windows Subsyetm for Linux feature from PowerShell.

Go to the Start menu and search for PowerShell. Run it as administrator:

Once you have the PowerShell running, use the command below to enable Bash in Windows 10.

You’ll be asked to confirm your choice. Type Y or press enter:

Now you should be asked to reboot. Even if you are not asked to, you must restart your system.

Step 2: Download a Linux system from the Windows store

Once your system has rebooted, go to the Windows Store and search for “Linux.”

You’ll see the option to install Ubuntu or SUSE. I have installed Ubuntu for Bash on Windows here.

What’s the difference between using Ubuntu or openSUSE or SUSE Linux Enterprise? And which one should you use?

If that’s your question then perhaps you don’t know much about Linux distributions. To tell you quickly, the main difference would be in the commands for installing new packages inside these Linux subsystems. I advise going for Ubuntu in this case.

Once you choose the distribution of your choice, you’ll see the option to install it. Do note that it will download files of around 1Gb in size. So you should have a good internet connection here.

Step 3: Run Linux inside Windows 10

You are almost there. Once you have installed Linux, it’s time to see how to access Bash in Windows 10.

Just search for the Linux distribution you installed in the previous step. In my case it was Ubuntu. You’ll see that it runs like a normal Windows application.

It will take some time installing and then you’ll have to set up the username and password.

Don’t worry, it’s just for the first run. Bash shell will be available for use directly from the next time onwards.

Enjoy Linux inside Windows 10.

Troubleshooting 1: The WSL optional component is not enabled. Please enable it and try again.

You may see an error like this when you try to run Linux inside Windows 10:

And when you press any key, the application closes immediately.

The reason here is that the Windows Subsystem for Linux is not enabled in your case. You should enable it as explained in step 1 of this guide. You can do that even after you have installed Linux from Windows Store.

Troubleshoot 2: Installation failed with error 0x80070003

This is because Windows Subsystem for Linux only runs on the system drive i.e. the C drive. You should make sure that when you download Linux from the Windows Store, it is stored and installed in the C Drive.

Go to Settings -> Storage -> More Storage Settings: Change where new content is saved and select C Drive here.

Method 2: Install Linux Bash Shell on older Windows 10

If you cannot get the Fall Creator’s update on Windows 10 for some reason, you can still install it if you have the Anniversary update of Windows 10. But here, you’ll have to enable developer mode. I still recommend upgrading to the Fall Creator’s update though.

Step 9:

Once this is done, go back to the Start menu and search for Ubuntu or Bash.
