# WSL

### 1. What's it?

WSL stands for Windows Subsystem for Linux 2, which enables developers to use Linux tools, like Bash or Grep, completely integrated with Windows tools.

### 2. Why do I need to install WSL?

* The [Automatic script for Android Emulator](/~/revisions/CTFzuwrlmsieJaiDVRDD/debug-devices/android-device/automatic-script-for-android-emulator.md) is a Bash Script, so it requires the WSL to install in order to execute the script.

### 3. How to install WSL on Windows 10/11

1. On Windows 10/11, search: **Command Prompt** app
2. Right-click on the app -> Select **Run as administrator** option.
3. When the App is opened, copy & paste the following command:

```bash
wsl --install
```

4\. Done ✅
