Istruzioni per installare WSL

Windows users can set up Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on their machine to log into a remote server using SSH.

Step 1: Enable WSL

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator:

   • Press Windows Key + X, then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

2. In the PowerShell window, type the following command to enable WSL:

   wsl --install
   

This command installs the necessary WSL components and the latest version of Ubuntu by default. You may be prompted to restart—if so, restart your system.

Step 2: Set Up the Linux Environment

1. Once installed, launch the Linux distribution from the Start menu.

2. You will be prompted to create a new user and password for your WSL instance. Follow the prompts to configure it.

3. Update your Linux environment by running the following commands

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 3: Install OpenSSH (if not installed)

Most Linux distributions come with OpenSSH pre-installed. To verify or install:

1. Open your WSL terminal.

2. Install the OpenSSH client by running:

sudo apt install openssh-client
