How to Run Linux/Bash on Windows 10 Using the Built-In Windows Subsystem for Linux

In this video, we will be learning how to run Linux on Windows using the new Windows Subsystem for Linux that comes with Windows 10. This is an excellent way to run Bash on a Windows machine. It allows you to use all of the Bash commands we are used to using on Linux within a Windows system. We will be showing how to enable and install Linux on Windows and also go over a quick overview to see how this works. Let's get started...

Still not sure why this channel is so underrated, these are some of the best cs videos I've seen on youtube. Keep up the good work :)

I am crying right now!! This saves my life. I am searching good tutorial for months.

[DrownedSimo]

You, man, you answer to questions I would've never imagined. You won't stop on basic stuff, you try to make our lives easier <3
I'm actually learning to program a bit (python) with you and your videos are insanely good. I'll stick with your videos for bash too, after python! You're a great teacher, keep it up!

[raducotisel]

I think this is the best tutorial for this topic i have encountered so far! Thanks, man! You are awsome!

[kannansm]

Actually the one thingwhich I really wanted to do on windows is using linux commands but not able to find the steps to do it 😊 finally this video made my day

[welwitschia]

Thank you so much for this video. I am teaching myself many skills I need to make the jump from academia to data science, and this has always been one of the most obscure CS topics for me. I've always used windows machines and having the possibility to use a bash inside windows without the need of a virtual machine is incredibly useful.

[davidschroeder]

As usual, Excellent explanation. Can always count on you for clear, well organized, articulate tutorials.

[moxyfruv]

Thank you for this wonderful, CLEAR, easy - to - follow tutorial! You make it so simple - it is TRULY for beginners. I'm checking out more of your vids.

so far I'd followed Corey's Python vids and independently I'd actually installed Ubuntu on Windows so I could play with Linux (including bash, gcc, nasm etc). I had no idea Corey has covered this stuff, neither did I realise that you can view your win FS from Linux (and vice versa!). Imagine my delight when I accidentally came across this here video!... Beyond the pure excitement of being able to do that and all the playing about, it also means no more weird paste between command line and terminal window when transferring programs etc etc Muchas gracias Corey! Your channel is pure gold! :)))

[happysprollie]

Another great tutorial. I followed along (successfully) on my Win10 installation which happens to be a VM running on my Mac. I'm starting to wonder how many layers of virtualisation and abstraction you can apply before the machine stops working.

bash tip: instead of:
$ nano ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

you can do:
$ nano ~/.bashrc
$ source !$

The `!$` is a shortcut equivalent to "use the same argument that you used in the previous bash command".

I love your tutorials! Have helped me so much. Thanks to you I've been able to make secure and access many server projects and my home is now safer and running linux for almost everything!!!

[masterludovicus]

Just installed all of this prior to watching your video and as always, your videos are the best ones that explain all of this. You are a godsend!

[MarkJay]

Great video. I'll definitely be using bash for Windows from now on.

[johnschmidt]

I never knew that bash can be run on windows. Thanks for the tutorial mate!

[ConradMare]

Wow, not ever has anyone answered ALL my questions in-full like that! Thank you so much!

[wolfisraging]

This video saved me from switching my entire life to Mac. Thanks a ton!

[venkatsrkyt]

This is really good, bro. Thanks you for the nice and quick tutorial.

[ronkasper]

You saved the day. This is very helpful. Thanks for helping me out.

I’m a computer science student and part of my course has Linux command lines, this video is so helpful, I’ve been struggling to set up a virtual machine in my laptop and it keeps stalling.
