Follow these steps when you have a compatible version of Windows 10: In order to turn on this awesome new feature and Ubuntu on Windows app you must have the Windows 10 “Anniversary” release version 1607 or any Windows Insider build number 14393 or newer. Running sudo apt-get install python on Windows feels wrong but it works perfectly. In addition, with the package manager APT you can install just about any Linux package including apache, mysql, python, ruby, php, etc.
That includes Bash, SSH, APT, and much more. The Ubuntu on Windows app includes all of the popular user space apps found on Linux. That is where the Ubuntu on Windows app is very helpful and comes installed with the Windows Subsystem for Linux. Now that we have a special translation layer that can run Linux apps on Windows, we need some Linux Apps. According to Dustin Kirkland Ubuntu, the translation is very fast and does not impact application performance. So when a Linux app like Bash executes and makes system calls, the Windows Subsystem for Linux translates those calls into Windows system calls and Bash executes just like on Linux.
The Windows Subsystem for Linux makes this all possible by providing emulation-like translation of Linux kernel system calls to the Windows kernel. Running Linux on Windows has been possible for a long time with virtualization software, but with the new “Windows Subsystem for Linux” Ubuntu Linux binaries can run directly on Windows without the need for the Linux Kernel running in a VM. This sounds like an April fool’s day joke, but I am going to show you how to run Bash and other Linux apps on Windows 10 using a hidden feature in the Windows 10 Anniversary release (version 1607).
