## Simplified Installation for Windows Insiders
161

162
-
The installation process for Windows Subsystem for Linux has been significantly improved in the latest Windows Insiders preview builds of Windows 10, replacing the manual steps below with a single command.

In order to use the `wsl --install` simplified install command, you must:
165
-
166
-
- Join the [Windows Insiders Program](https://insider.windows.com/getting-started)
167
-
- Install a preview build of Windows 10 (OS build 20262 or higher).
168
-
- Open a command line windows with Administrator privileges
169
-
170

Once those requirements are met, to install WSL:
171

172
-
- Enter this command in the command line you've opened in Admin mode: `wsl.exe --install`
173
-
- Restart your machine
174
-
175
-
The first time you launch a newly installed Linux distribution, a console window will open and you'll be asked to wait for files to de-compress and be stored on your PC. All future launches should take less than a second.
