Hello everybody,<br>
<br>
I just successfully tested WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux</a> <br>
for running GrADS and it's working!<br>
<br>
Short explanation:<br>
1) Install WSL from windows features (reboot)<br>
2) Install linux distribution from Windows Store or manual install from
links here - <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual</a><br>
(I tested it in Debian)<br>
<br>
3) open wsl.exe (search from it), in Debian it asks to choose
username/password for the new subsystem<br>
4) In the new terminal run: sudo apt-get install grads (asks for the
password from the previous stage)<br>
(this command is only for debian/ubuntu, other distributions have
others command for software packages)<br>
<br>
5) install VcXsrv from here - <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/">https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/</a><br>
6) Run VcXsrv wizard (XLaunch)<br>
<br>
7) In Linux terminal type: nano ~/.bashrc<br>
8) Add this 2 lines at the end of file:<br>
DISPLAY=:0.0<br>
export DISPLAY<br>
<br>
9) Ctrl+x and answer y (+Enter) for saving modified file<br>
<br>
10) Close Linux Subsystem and open it again<br>
<br>
11) type in terminal: grads<br>
<br>
If everything went well, GrADS window will be open<br>
<br>
note: in Linux Subsystem Windows C volume is mounted as /mnt/c, D as
/mnt/d etc. That is the easy way to pass files between Windows and
Linux Subsystem<br>
<br>
Enjoy!<br>
