If running Windows you need to install WSL - linux running on windows. To install WSL, follow this guide. We recommend using Ubuntu and then you can follow the Ubuntu guide above. After installation you should have a functional installation of Ubuntu running alongside windows. To enter Ubuntu, type bash in a command prompt.
File permissions:
To be able to set file permissions, you will then need to modify the /etc/wsl.conf per this blog article. Restart your machine for the changes to take effect.
Git settings:
There will be an issue with git settings. Run git config core.autocrlf true to allow modifications to files in windows and have them be readable in ubuntu.
To install the prerequisites, you will need to install Homebrew. Install that and then run these commands. These prerequisites can be installed with a single command (make install-deps-brew) after you clone the source code. The following is only for reference.
