 Installation for Windows Using WSL/Ubuntu
###########################################

This guide covers installing CHEMSMART on Windows using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) with Ubuntu. This is the
preferred way of installation, as WSL provides similar terminal environment to Linux/Unix OS.

***************
 Prerequisites
***************

#. Install Ubuntu from the `Ubuntu website <https://ubuntu.com>`_ or directly from the Microsoft Store.

#. Install conda (Anaconda3 or Miniconda3 for Linux) within Ubuntu:

   See the `conda installation guide <https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/stable/user-guide/install/index.html>`_.

#. Install ``git`` and ``make``:

   .. code:: bash

      sudo apt install git make

 Installation

Since Ubuntu on WSL uses the Linux kernel, follow the instructions in :doc:`installation-linux-macos` to complete the
CHEMSMART setup.
