With this app you get Debian for the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). You will be able to use a complete Debian command line environment containing a full current stable release environment.
If this is your first WSL app you might have to enable WSL first (or contact your device administrator to do so). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install
After the installation you can start the WSL console by either clicking the "Debian" tile in the start menu or by typing "debian" in powershell or cmd.
To keep your Debian environment up-to-date please use the following commands:
$ sudo apt update $ sudo apt dist-upgrade
The help page for this application can be found in the Debian Wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Microsoft/Windows/SubsystemForLinux
The source code for this application can be found at the Debian Gitlab instance: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/WSL
