Enable WSL if you haven't done already:\n\n  - ```powershell\n    wsl --install --no-distribution\n    ```\n\n2. Download `nixos.wsl` from [the latest release](https://github.com/nix-community/NixOS-WSL/releases/latest).\n\n3. Double-click the file you just downloaded (requires WSL \u003e= 2.4.4)\n\n4. You can now run NixOS:\n\n- ```powershell\n  wsl -d NixOS\n  ```\n\nFor more detailed instructions, [refer to the documentation](https://nix-community.github.io/NixOS-WSL/install.html).\n\n## License\n\nApache License, Version 2.0.
