Bash on Windows (WSL)

Enable Windows Linux Subsystem

At Build 2016 Microsoft announced that Bash will be coming to Windows 10 via the future release of the Anniversary update. Made possible through the partnership of Microsoft & Canonical, this first class experience is made available natively a Windows desktop and required no VM to be run. The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is actually infrastructure within Windows operating a genuine Ubuntu user-mode Ubuntu image.

# open powershell as Administrator

Run ConEmu with Bash shell

Run from cmd/star menu/powershell. It requires newer version of ConEmu, that runs WSL via wslbridge.exe where {bash} is a default task. This version has fixed bug where the arrow keys do work now.

ConEmu64.exe -basic -run {bash}
