  • How to run RHEL 8.2 on Windows WSL2 (bash shell/terminal only)

    From Dev Linux@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 17 08:00:22 2020
    I want to run RHEL 8.2 in a bash terminal (no UI) under Windows 10 Pro (2004) that comes with WSL2

    1. Is there a list of steps anywhere, that would help me download what I need, and get RHEL 8.2 running under WSL2?

    2. What would I need to download? (need direct URL - there are so many options for RHEL 8.2 , I am confused)

    3. What steps would I need to take to get this running locally on my Windows 10 machine?

    Notes:
    I don't want to run any existing RHEL available in the Windows store, I want to roll my own (not that it's there), but should be - are you listening Redhat?

    I don't want to run RHEL 8.2 under VirtualBox or any other virtualization technology, just WSL2

    If anyone at Redhat, has experience with this, and has actually done this with RHEL 8.2 and WSL2 and has it working swimingly, please reply, would love to get this up and running for a higher level of productivity, scripting and automation on my Windows
    dev box.

    Try cygwin. Does it all. Add it the cygwin path to the
    Windows system path to have all the bash commands handy.
