1. First, manually install git. So as to clone this repo and run the installation script.
   • Git can be installed using the GitForWindows installer Or through the commandline tool winget. Winget is now available in almost all latest windows installations, (Windows 10 and above)
   • So preferable way: winget install Git.Git
2. Once Git is installed, then clone the repo

   mkdir $Env:USERPROFILE\Repos
   git clone https://github.com/aniketgm/system-setup

3. Now run the powershell script from an elevated terminal (Open As Administrator), inorder to avoid any permission issues.
4. In a powershell terminal, this can be achieved as follows:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
   & software-install.ps1

5. This setup file will be responsible for installing necessary softwares and then it will automatically restart the system for the changes to take effect.
6. Once the system restarts, launch the Windows Terminal and set the default profile of the terminal to Powershell 7.
7. Relaunch the terminal as Admin again and run the next script:

& post-install-setup.ps1

8. Now after restart, launch Alacritty, which should launch WSL prompt.

• If WSL is not launched properly, you might want to check a few things:
  1. If alacritty is launched through shortcut, check the properties and the target config file set in the properties.
  2. Else, check the config file $Env:APPDATA\alacritty\alacritty.yml, for any issue in the configuration.

NOTE: The post-install-setup script is responsible for setting up config files and other softwares. It will again restart the system.

• The setup for Linux is similar to that of WSL, with a few more for the actual NonWSL2 setup

• Assuming the OS is Ubuntu (WSL), 'apt' package manager is considered below.
• WSL now can be launched from Alacritty.

1. Install git.

sudo apt install git

2. Clone the repo 'aniketgm/system-setup' (OR in WSL2, one can cd into the already cloned repo on Windows FileSystem)

mkdir ~/Repos && cd $_
git clone https://github.com/aniketgm/system-setup
cd system-setup

• Run the following script that is inside the Linux folder:

  sudo wsl-setup.sh

• Run the following script that is inside the Linux folder:

  sudo nonwsl-setup.sh
