YoWSL is yet another Windows Subsystem for Linux tweaker.
The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update has a great feature called
the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
YoWSL enables you to register a WSL distro in an arbitrary folder using your
.tar.gz
archive.
This project is in a very early stage of development.
- Register a WSL distro from your
.tar.gz
archive - Unregister a WSL distro
- Get a configuration of a registered WSL distro
- Set a configuration of a registered WSL distro
- Launch a registered WSL distro
- The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (x64)
- The Windows Subsystem for Linux optional feature. You can install it in PowerShell as Administrator:
> Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
- A
.tar.gz
archive that contains all files using a WSL distro. If you installed some WSL distro from the Microsoft Store, you may find someinstall.tar.gz
inC:\Program Files\WindowsApps
You can download pre-built binaries from
the downloads page.
You will need to extract a .zip
archive and put yowsl.exe
in your paths.
If you have the Rust toolchain, you can build YoWSL with Cargo:
> cargo install yowsl
