# 💻 Windows Laptop Setup for Development and AI Tasks (Leveraging WSL)
---
## 🛠️ 1. Setting Up WSL
- **Enable WSL2 on Windows**:
Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
```powershell
wsl --install
```
- **Install your preferred Linux distribution** (e.g., Ubuntu):
```powershell
wsl --install -d Ubuntu
```
- **Update the installed Linux distribution** (inside WSL):
```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
```
---
## 🔧 2. Development Tools via WSL
### 🏗️ a. Terraform
- **Install Terraform CLI**:
```bash
sudo apt install -y wget unzip
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/$(curl -s https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/ | grep -oP '\d+\.\d+\.\d+' | head -1)/terraform_$(curl -s https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/ | grep -oP '\d+\.\d+\.\d+' | head -1)_linux_amd64.zip
unzip terraform_*.zip
sudo mv terraform /usr/local/bin/

fc-cache -fv
```
- **Add Oh My Posh configuration to your shell**:
```bash
echo 'eval "$(oh-my-posh init bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc
```
### 🛠️ e. Linux Utilities for Development
- **Install essential utilities and tools**:
```bash
sudo apt install -y build-essential git curl wget unzip
```
---
## 🤖 3. AI Tools for Azure Development via WSL
### 🐍 a. Python Environment
- **Install Python and pip**:
```bash
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip
```
- **Install Azure SDKs for Python**:
```bash
pip3 install azure-storage-blob azure-mgmt-resource azure-ai-formrecognizer
