| <figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/0*aqKP1drNHmNm34zz.jpg" class="graf-image" /></figure>Test if you have Ubuntu installed by typing "Ubuntu" in the search box in the bottom app bar that reads "Type here to search". If you see a search result that reads **"Ubuntu 20.04 LTS"** with "App" under it, then you have it installed. | ||

| 2. <span id="54fd">Right-click on "Windows PowerShell" and choose "Run as administrator" from the popup menu</span> | ||

| 8. <span id="9d35">Type in "Ubuntu"</span> | ||
| 9. <span id="4205">Click "Run Linux on Windows (Get the apps)"</span> | ||
| 10. <span id="1799">Click the orange tile labeled **"Ubuntu"** Note that there are 3 versions in the Microsoft Store… you want the one just entitled 'Ubuntu'</span> | ||
| 11. <span id="edec">Click "Install"</span> | ||
| 12. <span id="2935">After it downloads, click "Launch"</span> | ||
| 13. <span id="a859">If you get the option, pin the application to the task bar. Otherwise, right-click on the orange Ubuntu icon in the task bar and choose "Pin to taskbar"</span> | ||

|
|
||
| ### Git | ||
|
|
||
| Git comes with Ubuntu, so there's nothing to install. However, you should configure it using the following instructions. | ||
|
|
||
| Open an Ubuntu terminal if you don't have one open already. | ||
|
|
||
| 1. <span id="8cfe">You need to configure Git, so type `git config --global user.name "Your Name"` with replacing "Your Name" with your real name.</span> | ||
| 2. <span id="0e0d">You need to configure Git, so type `git config --global user.email [email protected]` with replacing "<a href="mailto:[email protected]" class="markup--anchor markup--li-anchor">[email protected]</a>" with your real email.</span> | ||
|
|
||
| **Note: if you want git to remember your login credentials type:** | ||
|
|
||
| $ git config --global credential.helper store | ||
|
|
||
| ### Google Chrome | ||
|
|
||
| Test if you have Chrome installed by typing "Chrome" in the search box in the bottom app bar that reads "Type here to search". If you see a search result that reads "Chrome" with "App" under it, then you have it installed. Otherwise, follow these instructions to install Google Chrome. | ||
|
|
||
| 1. <span id="578c">Open Microsoft Edge, the blue "e" in the task bar, and type in <a href="http://chrome.google.com/" class="markup--anchor markup--li-anchor">http://chrome.google.com</a>. Click the "Download Chrome" button. Click the "Accept and Install" button after reading the terms of service. Click "Save" in the "What do you want to do with ChromeSetup.exe" dialog at the bottom of the window. When you have the option to "Run" it, do so. Answer the questions as you'd like. Set it as the default browser.</span> | ||
| 2. <span id="40db">Right-click on the Chrome icon in the task bar and choose "Pin to taskbar".</span> | ||
|
|
||
| ### Node.js | ||
|
|
||
| Test if you have Node.js installed by opening an Ubuntu terminal and typing `node --version`. If it reports "Command 'node' not found", then you need to follow these directions. | ||
|
|
||
| 1. <span id="9098">In the Ubuntu terminal, type `sudo apt update` and press Enter</span> | ||
| 2. <span id="806b">In the Ubuntu terminal, type `sudo apt install build-essential` and press Enter</span> | ||
| 3. <span id="5f3a">In the Ubuntu terminal, type `curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.2/install.sh | bash` and press Enter</span> | ||
| 4. <span id="2abd">In the Ubuntu terminal, type `. ./.bashrc` and press Enter</span> | ||
| 5. <span id="3c16">In the Ubuntu terminal, type `nvm install --lts` and press Enter</span> | ||
| 6. <span id="d567">Confirm that **node** is installed by typing `node --version` and seeing it print something that is not "Command not found"!</span> | ||
|
|
||
| ### Unzip | ||
|
|
||
| You will often have to download a zip file and unzip it. It is easier to do this from the command line. So we need to install a linux unzip utility. | ||
|
|
||
| In the Ubuntu terminal type: `sudo apt install unzip` and press Enter | ||
|
|
||
| Mocha.js | ||
|
|
||
| Test if you have Mocha.js installed by opening an Ubuntu terminal and typing `which mocha`. If it prints a path, then you're good. Otherwise, if it prints nothing, install Mocha.js by typing `npm install -g mocha`. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Python 3 | ||
|
|
||
| Ubuntu does not come with Python 3. Install it using the command `sudo apt install python3`. Test it by typing `python3 --version` and seeing it print a number. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Note about WSL | ||
|
|
||
| As of the time of writing of this document, WSL has an issue renaming or deleting files if Visual Studio Code is open. So before doing any linux commands which manipulate files, make sure you **close** Visual Studio Code before running those commands in the Ubuntu terminal. | ||
|
