dotfiles

This setup is for Windows 11 + WSL as a dev environment for Radius.

Prerequisites

• Windows 11 24H2 Pro or Enterprise
• winget version 1.6 or higher (Open a terminal window and run winget --version to check.)

Steps

1. Log into Windows and clone this repo into the %userprofile% profile folder. Be sure to include submodules: git clone https://github.com/brooke-hamilton/dotfiles --recurse-submodules
2. Open a PowerShell terminal window as Administrator, navigate to the repo folder, and run .\install.ps1
3. Reboot.
4. Open Windows Terminal and launch the Ubuntu WSL distro. Complete the Ubuntu OOBE setup, i.e., log into Ubuntu and set your credentials.
5. From the Ubuntu terminal, run ./install_wsl.sh. (You can run it from its Windows location at /mnt/c/users/<username>/dotfiles.)

Notes

When WSL hangs, and wsl --shutdown does not work, and the Windows Service does not respond to a restart command, run this command to kill the service.

taskkill /f /im wslservice.exe
