windows install guide

[reecepbcups]

Tested on my new Dell Laptop windows 10

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

powershell -> wsl --install

reboot after install

---

open terminal

wsl.exe --install Ubuntu-24.04 

This takes a bit if WSL is not already installed

confirm `wsl` opens it up

---

in WSL install go

# sudo apt update && sudo apt install snapd

sudo snap info go
sudo snap install go --channel=1.23/stable --classic

# typing `go version` should now showcase it working

sudo snap install docker

# option 1
sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock
# option 2
sudo setfacl --modify user::rw /var/run/docker.sock

# install make gcc github/gh 

sudo apt install make gcc git jq
sudo snap install gh

gh auth login

git config --global user.email "reecepbcups@gmail.com"
git config --global user.name "Reece Williams"

---

install spawn through docs now

!! show manual or just curl / quick install (same for spawn)

# TODO: fix: local-ic version avaliable current="" (if empty, we should prompt to make get-localic)
# we should prompt the user? or just install directly
wget https://github.com/strangelove-ventures/interchaintest/releases/download/v8.7.0/local-ic
mv local-ic $HOME/go/bin
chmod +x $HOME/go/bin/local-ic

# on spawn new, print out "Starting to build <xyz>..."

# add JQ to normal installations
