Check if WSL is installed

On Windows 10/11, WSL usually comes preinstalled. For earlier Windows versions that don't support WSL, please upgrade your system.

To check whether WSL is already installed (if version info is displayed, it's installed):

wsl.exe --version

Install Ubuntu

 wsl.exe --install --distribution Ubuntu --web-download

Verify Installation

If you see the following output, it means the node was installed successfully:

wsl.exe --list

Start Ubuntu and set root password

Launch Ubuntu. The first time you start it, you will be prompted to set a root password. Please remember it.

 wsl.exe -d Ubuntu

Register node

curl 'https://www.janction.ai/v0/node/install.sh' |  NODE_ID=153da422-d22e-41ea-aad0-abd4c585d988 bash -s install

If you see the following output, it means the node was installed successfully:
