You might see this message after running that command: `WSL 2 requires an update to its kernel component. For information please visit https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel`. Please follow the link ([https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel](https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel)) and install the MSI from that page on our documentation to install a Linux kernel on your machine for WSL 2 to use. Once you have the kernel installed, please run the command again and it should complete successfully without showing the message.
