WSL(Windows Subsystem for Linux)<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When you want to run Linux-specific programs or develop in a Linux environment, there are times when you need Linux hardware. However, if you only have a computer with Windows installed, in the past, you would have to install Linux through #Dual booting or even set up a dedicated Linux machine. To avoid this hassle and use Linux on Windows, Microsoft provides WSL (What is Windows Subsystem for Linux | Microsoft Learn<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This article summarizes how to install Ubuntu Linux using #WSL and configure a basic WSL distribution that can be used for various purposes.<\/p>\n

Install Ubuntu 22.04 base image<\/span><\/h2>\n

In Windows, you run the command prompt and check if there are any WSL distributions installed with the command wsl –list. If there are no previously installed WSL distributions, a message will be displayed indicating that nothing is installed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Export WSL distribution image for reuse<\/h2>\n
\n
To avoid installing the necessary WSL image every time, and to reuse a distribution that has been configured with the basic packages and development environment, you perform an export. This exported distribution can be used to configure the desired WSL image, and it can be moved to another computer or shared.<\/p>\n
Before exporting, you stop the running WSL image and then execute the export. You export the Ubuntu-22.04 WSL distribution with the filename Ubuntu22.04-base.vhdx<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
C:\\Users\\gotocloud>wsl --shutdown Ubuntu-22.04\r\nC:\\Users\\gotocloud>wsl --terminate Ubuntu-22.04\r\nC:\\Users\\gotocloud>wsl --export Ubuntu-22.04 Ubuntu22.04-base.vhdx --vhd\r\n\ub0b4\ubcf4\ub0b4\uae30\uac00 \uc9c4\ud589 \uc911\uc785\ub2c8\ub2e4. \uc774 \uc791\uc5c5\uc740 \uba87 \ubd84 \uc815\ub3c4 \uac78\ub9b4 \uc218 \uc788\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4.\r\n\uc791\uc5c5\uc744 \uc644\ub8cc\ud588\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4.<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
The Ubuntu22.04-base.vhdx<\/strong> file has been created as follows. You can import this file to create a new WSL distribution.<\/div>\n
\n
C:\\Users\\Bosung Lee>dir Ubuntu22.04-base.vhdx\r\nC \ub4dc\ub77c\uc774\ube0c\uc758 \ubcfc\ub968\uc5d0\ub294 \uc774\ub984\uc774 \uc5c6\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4.\r\n\ubcfc\ub968 \uc77c\ub828 \ubc88\ud638: 3C96-7739\r\n\r\nC:\\Users\\Bosung Lee \ub514\ub809\ud130\ub9ac\r\n\r\n05-22 \uc624\ud6c4 12:15 2,797,600,768 Ubuntu22.04-base.vhdx\r\n1\uac1c \ud30c\uc77c 2,797,600,768 \ubc14\uc774\ud2b8\r\n0\uac1c \ub514\ub809\ud130\ub9ac 183,857,647,616 \ubc14\uc774\ud2b8 \ub0a8\uc74c\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n
When you want to remove an installed distribution, you use the wsl –unregister command.<\/p>\n
C:\\Users\\gotocloud>wsl --unregister Ubuntu-22.04\r\n\ub4f1\ub85d \ucde8\uc18c \uc911\uc785\ub2c8\ub2e4.\r\n\uc791\uc5c5\uc744 \uc644\ub8cc\ud588\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4.<\/pre>\n
Install new WSL distribution using import<\/h2>\n
The exported vhdx file is imported to create a new WSL distribution as follows. “MyUbuntu-22.04” is the name of the newly created WSL distribution, and the period (.) denotes the current directory, which is where the base disk for the WSL image, ext4.vhdx, will be stored. If you specify a desired directory name here, the base disk will be created in that directory. When creating multiple WSL distributions, the ext4.vhdx should be stored in different directories.<\/p>\n
The imported distribution is run with the user account “gotocloud” that was set up during image creation. The -d option specifies the name of the distribution to run.<\/p>\n
C:\\Users\\gotocloud>wsl --import MyUbuntu-22.04 .
