# WolfiWSL

Tutorial for installing Wolfi WSL images + calling Windows applications without any hassle.

Open the WSL Manager application (download it first from [bostrot/wsl2-distro-manager](https://github.com/bostrot/wsl2-distro-manager) if you don't have it yet), click "Add new instance", then enter the required data.

Open Wolfi from Windows Terminal then enter the following command

    apk update && apk upgrade

    apk add mount libstdc++ bash curl sudo make git --no-cache

    git clone https://github.com/wslutilities/wslu ~/wslu && cd ~/wslu

    bash configure.sh

    make

    sudo make install && sudo install -m755 extras/scripts/wslu-uninstall /usr/bin

    apk del --purge sudo make git && apk cache clean

    echo "echo 'Welcome to WolfiWSL :D'" > /etc/motd

    echo "alias a=wslact" > .profile

    echo "alias s=wslusc" >> .profile

    echo "alias o=wslview" >> .profile

    echo "clear" >> .profile

    echo "/etc/motd" >> .profile

    chmod +x /etc/motd .profile

    rm -rf .ash_history ~/wslu

If you haven't set WSL auto shutdown when idle, shutdown WSL with the following command

    wsl --shutdown

Close Windows Terminal then reopen it.

Open Windows application you need, for example notepad.

    o notepad.exe

Open Microsoft Word file easily.

    o example.docx

## No GUI (WSLg) support because it's Wolfi :)
