I've got windows executable files from Internet so I can install successfully by steps that follows:

  • Install CascadiaPackage*.cer with option Trusted Institutional Certificate
  • Double click the execuable file and then start

To get platform_x64 execuable files, contact me at swmdxbg@163.com.

I'd like to firgure out solution about how to add ubuntu terminal support to my windows terminal. Great thanks !

What's more, you may find that if you modified profile.json uncorrectly before unable to reopen it.

Solution to *unable to open windows terminal` is :

Delete C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_* . Then click Windows Terminal Icon. (Directory varies according to Your Account and computer)

You'll see it works again !

Don't use random executables from random sources! And don't give them away if they ask you on your contact. You could help spread a virus.

To get Linux, you have to use Windows Subsystem for Linux (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10). This has nothing to do with the Windows Terminal.

Thanks for your care. But I have picked a new problem as I run bash.exe in Windows Terminal :

/mnt/c/WINDOWS/system32$
sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/c/Users/nestripo/AppData/Local/Packages/CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu18.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc/LocalState/rootfs/home/nestripo/                                                  chmod: cannot access '/mnt/c/Users/nestripo/AppData/Local/Packages/CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu18.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc/LocalState/rootfs/home/nestripo/': Permission denied

And I've given absolutely control permission to that DIRECTORY in windows 10. When I try to source .bashrc, I got :

/mnt/c/WINDOWS/system32$ 
source /mnt/c/Users/nestripo/AppData/Local/Packages/CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu18.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc/LocalState/rootfs/home/nestripo/.bashrc                                                      -bash: /mnt/c/Users/nestripo/AppData/Local/Packages/CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu18.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc/LocalState/rootfs/home/nestripo/.bashrc: Permission denied

I have no idea about it. May I ask for your help ?

I just installed the Windows Subsystem for Linux . I've found the final solution that is :

cd $HOME

And then command source .bashrc runs properly !

I'm gonna re-emphasize this here, because some people aren't getting the picture.

DO NOT install binaries from untrusted 3rd party sources.

There's no way for you to guarantee that the application you installed from them did not also secretly include some sort of virus, compiled in by the distributor of the binary.

If you don't want to build the terminal from source, please be patient as we continue polishing the terminal for a preview release this summer.
