1. Windows Subsystem for Linux Installation Guide for Windows 10
 
 
 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
 
 
 
2. Once you have WSL installed you should install your Linux distribution of choice
 
 
  - we recommend Ubuntu 18.04 LTS due to binary distributions availability

3. iRODS Packages in APT repositories
 
 
 
Install the public key and add the repository:
 
 
 
wget -qO - https://packages.irods.org/irods-signing-key.asc | sudo apt-key add -
 
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.irods.org/apt/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/renci-irods.list
 
sudo apt-get update
 
 
 
4. iCommand installation and configuration
 
 
 
5. Mounting Network Drives into Windows Subsystem Linux (optional)
 
info : https://docs.microsoft.com/sv-se/archive/blogs/wsl/wsl-file-system-support
 
 
 
Microsoft uses a new type of file system called DrvFs behind the scenes to allow the Linux subsystem to talk to native Windows directories. So you end up mounting a network drive just like you would mount any other media normally.
 
 
 
Let's say you've got a server on your network usually accessible as \\MyNetworkDrive. To mount it into your WSL, you can do the following:
 
 
 
sudo mkdir /mnt/mynetworkdrive
 
sudo mount -t drvfs '\\MyNetworkDrive' /mnt/mynetworkdrive
 
 
Note: Use single quotes to avoid awkwardness around the backslashes in the network drive name.
 
 
 
If you have mapped the network drive to a drive letter S: on your Windows system already:
 
 
sudo mkdir /mnt/mynetworkdrive
 
sudo mount -t drvfs S: /mnt/mynetworkdrive
 
 
 
If you ever want to unmount it:
 
 
 
sudo umount /mnt/mynetworkdrive
