caseywatts / Electron on WSL2.md
Last active May 2, 2024 06:05

Electron is tricky to get set up on Windows Subsystem for Linux, but it can work!

Four things needed overall:

  1. you need WSL2, not WSL1
  2. you need node, of course, and that part isn't so bad
  3. you need to apt install several dependencies
  4. you need an X Server so it can display the electron GUI over in Windows-land

Setup instructions, in order:

Using Faker in the Node.js REPL

I learned how to open a module in a Node REPL thanks to this StackOverflow post

How to use Faker in a Node.js REPL

  1. npm install --save-dev "@faker-js/faker
    • = install Faker to your repository
    • (I made an empty project folder because idk how to find -g global ones in node)
  2. node --experimental-repl-await
    • = open the Node REPL with the experimental await feature
  3. let { faker } = await import('@faker-js/faker')
