We currently recommend installing VcXsrv - this will install an application called XLaunch. On Windows 10, you need to install a separate application in order to use the FSL user interfaces. Sudo apt-get install dc python mesa-utils gedit pulseaudio libquadmath0 libgtk2.0-0 firefox libgomp1Ģ. Copy+paste these commands into the Ubuntu shell to install a few FSL dependencies:

Now follow these steps to install FSL into your Ubuntu machine:ġ. Set up a username and password for Ubuntu (only necessary the first time you launch it) Start the "Ubuntu" app to open an Ubuntu shell.Ĥ. Enable WSL by opening PowerShell as administrator.

You can find out your Windows version / build by opening the Settings app, and navigating to System > About. You need to have Windows 10 version 2004 (Build 19041) or higher. We have created an installation video which gives an overview of the installation procedure for the Windows Subsystem for Linux using Windows 10. This is the recommended option for using FSL on a Windows computer. However FSL can be used on Windows via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL, Windows 10 and newer, recommended option) or by running the Linux version of FSL inside a virtual machine (VM). We recommend using Linux or macOS for using FSL.
