The blog shows the guide to setup Linux subsystem in Window 10.

There are some steps which can help you working on Linux system

• Changing some features in Window as the below images -
• 
• Next step is downloading the Ubuntu app from Microsoft Store in Window.

Working on Ubuntu bash

• If we do $ ls command, there is nothing here.
• $ cd / then $ ls we can see the root of subsystem. mnt is the C folder of Window
• cd mnt - $ ls - $ cd C now we are working on C folder of window
• From /mnt/c/users/ngoct/Projects we do $ sudo apt update to avoid data corruption if we work on the folder in linux subsystem inside window folder.
• Next is to upgrade $ sudo apt upgrade.

Working on Visual Studio Code on WSL:Ubuntu

• Install

  • tamlam@DESKTOP:/mnt/c/Users/ngoct/Projects/coder$ code.
  • Create a new file: $ touch main.cpp

• Setting

  • Fix error: Ctrl + Shift + P in the tab of c_cpp_properties.json, change the default setting to “compilerPath”: “/usr/bin/g++”

• Run the code

$ gcc main.cpp -lstdc++ -o main.o then $ ./main.o in the Terminal on VSCode
