# node-red-contrib-wsl-ubuntu
Node for using Ubuntu environment in WSL with Node-RED
## Overview
This node can execute commands in the WSL Ubuntu environment.
Therefore, **this node works only on Windows**.
Please install the distribution using the wsl command in advance.
The node can be set to the following options.
- Ubuntu version
- Set the password when executing sudo (credential property)
- Whether the execution results are output sequentially or not
## Continuous Mode
When "Continuous" mode is enabled, command output is sent continuously as it becomes available. This is especially useful for long-running processes like `roscore` or other server applications.
In this mode:
- Output is streamed in real-time
- A stop button appears in the node allowing you to terminate the process
- You can also terminate the process by sending a message with `msg.kill=true`
When "Continuous" mode is disabled, command output is sent as a single message after the command completes execution.
## Usage Examples
Different versions are shown for different Ubuntu environments.
You can also use apt-get to install and remove packages.
For example, you can output the result of neofetch to System Console.
