Bash On Ubuntu On Windows

[TeknoBug]

Linux Bash is now enabled in Windows 10 anniversery update, in order to use it you need to:

- go to PC Settings > Updates & Security > For Developers
- select Developer mode
- Open Control Panel (or search "Windows Features")
- go into turn Windows Featuers On or Off window and find Windows Subsystem for Linux near the bottom, click OK and it will download and install the Bash and subsystem files and then reboot.
- Search for bash.exe after reboot and now you have a base Ubuntu system, you have apt-get at your disposal and if you want to run GUI Linux apps you'll want Xming or VcXsr

Cont'd:
for Windows and set "export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0" in .bashrc (or in my case setenv DISPLAY loalhost:0.0 for sh/zsh/tcsh).

So far I'm using Firefox, qemu (virtual machine) with FreeBSD and still toying with some other software.
