AlmaLinux OS is now available through the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) CLI tool, streamlining the process by removing the necessity for extra configuration or the Microsoft Store interface.
This update enables the installation of AlmaLinux on Windows Server environments where the Store is inaccessible. The compatible versions are AlmaLinux-8, AlmaLinux-9, and AlmaLinux-Kitten-10. To install AlmaLinux on WSL, one can utilize PowerShell, Windows Terminal, or CMD. To create AlmaLinux WSL images, users should install bash, git, buildah, and jq, and execute scripts located in the rootfs/ directory. Community members are encouraged to assist in testing the images within the ~SIG/Cloud channel, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. We invite the community to actively participate in the testing process within a Windows environment.
