Modules for running NixOS on the Windows Subsystem for Linux
[Documentation is available here](https://nix-community.github.io/NixOS-WSL)
## Quick Start

- ```powershell
wsl --install --no-distribution
```2. Download `nixos.wsl` from [the latest release](https://github.com/nix-community/NixOS-WSL/releases/latest).
3. Double-click the file you just downloaded (requires WSL >= 2.4.4)
4. You can now run NixOS:
- ```powershell
wsl -d NixOS
```For more detailed instructions, [refer to the documentation](https://nix-community.github.io/NixOS-WSL/install.html).
