### WSL

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows developers to run a Linux on your personal machine without having to use a dual-boot setup. This install takes help from the IT department if you are working on a NOAA-issued computer.

#### :hammer: Install WSL2 and Docker Engine

- Install WSL2 and Docker Engine on the Windows machine with IT. Both tools are on the [approved software list](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oPaTegdBGEmkjrmkbOVjGAJpPFg755p3Wws50ddLwCI/edit?usp=sharing).
- For installation details, see the official [WSL documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) and [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
- Be sure to have IT "Turn Windows features on or off" for WSL on Windows in addition to installing it. Here are some [similar instructions](https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/46769-enable-disable-windows-subsystem-linux-wsl-windows-10-a.html) to what IT will need to do.

#### :hammer: Install VS Code and extensions

Open VS Code and install the following extensions from the Extensions view
(`Ctrl + Shift + X`):
- WSL extension (ID: ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl): allows VS Code to connect to the WSL2 environment.
- Dev Containers extension (ID: ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers): builds and manages development containers from the `.devcontainers/devcontainer.json` file.

#### :hammer: Install Ubuntu

- Open a Windows Command Prompt and check if `Ubuntu` is listed as a WSL distribution:

```bash
wsl --list --verbose
```

If `Ubuntu` is not listed under the `NAME` column, run the following command
to install it:
Ubuntu:
```Bash
wsl --install -d Ubuntu
```
