Install Windows Terminal, the tool you'll use throughout this guide to run WSL 2 commands and to open dedicated tabs for your AlmaLinux 10 distro.
If you are not using WSL, you can jump straight to the AlmaLinux 10 Setup page.
If you're not already using it, we recommend installing Windows Terminal.
It is a modern tool that incorporates the power of multiple already known command-line applications like Windows PowerShell, Linux shell, and more.
Once your AlmaLinux 10 distro is installed, it gets its own dedicated tab profile in Windows Terminal (see Running on WSL 2), so every command in this guide (Windows and Linux alike) can be run from the same app.
Continue to System Requirements to check whether your machine is ready for WSL 2.
