# wsl-install
Installation scripts for installing WSL on Windows 10 & 11. PLEASE be sure to run the appropriate scripts in Windows and WSL.

Use "install_wsl.cmd" & "install_ubuntu.cmd" in Powershell. This will auto install the latest (supported) LTS version of Ubuntu. Once the script is done, please make sure to finish setting up Ubuntu by making a user.

Use "install_packages.sh" in Ubuntu. This will walk you through installing G++ and CMake. If you are taking CPT_S 223, please make sure you follow all other installation instructions to learn a few things about the terminal.
