Another limitation is that WSL 2 does not currently support snap packages, so make sure you use deb or AppImage versions of whatever app you need. One limitation is you have to start the editor using the terminal, for Sublime that means you execute the subl command. So I installed them into the WSL environment, see for example the Linux instructions for Sublime Text. Personally I commonly use Sublime Text and IntelliJ IDEA for code editing. The only way to use whatever app you want is to run it in Linux.

Use VSCode and the Remote - WSL extension.

Use the linux version of your favorite editor.

There are two ways to set up a code editor: TheyвЂ™re like two cars side by side on the highway. ItвЂ™s best to think of your WSL environment as a totally separate place that simply co-exists alongside Windows. Well you can, sort-of, but the performance is terrible, like youвЂ™re editing code on a network drive (you are). You might think (like I did) that you can just use your normal Windows apps to interact with your new electron code. You can use yarn run electron:build command to create linux binaries. Great! Now when you make changes to your app it will auto-reload. YouвЂ™ll see a bunch of build messages, and if youвЂ™re lucky, you should now see your Electron app in all itвЂ™s glory YouвЂ™ll see the little X logo in your system tray.

Save your config in your home directory for eash launching, then start the server.

Choose Clipboard and OpenGL integration, plus provide -ac as additional arguments.

Open VcsXsrv and itвЂ™ll guide you through three config screens.

An environment variable inside Ubuntu to tell it where to find the X Server.

To configure VcsXsrv youвЂ™ll need two things:

#Yarn run dev build generate full#

Running a full desktop environment is totally overkill and not at all nessecery for our purposes. There are also guides about running a whole Linux desktop environment.

#Yarn run dev build generate install#

Yes I know that is a SourceForge link, just do yourself a favor and install it using Chocolatey. Searching online for вЂWSL X serverвЂ™ will yield a bunch of conflicting advice about which one to use. Hopefully in future this will be supported out-of-the box, until then, weвЂ™ll have to install our own. Out of the box, WSL 2 does not have a window manager in which to display linux apps, so weвЂ™ll have to install one, and configure WSL 2 to use it. # NOTHING HAPPENS!? Where's the app window? # There's no way for Ubuntu or Windows to display it!ДЄt this point we should be able to see our app window, but we canвЂ™t. Yarn install # That's it!! We have a fully working electorn app.

# install vue cli sudo yarn global add create a project. # system libraries needed for electron sudo apt install libnss3-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libxss-dev This is easy, weвЂ™re in Ubuntu! Lets just install a bunch of things we know weвЂ™ll need. IвЂ™m only joking, but not really, go enable dark mode first.

Basic development tools (git, node, etc).

Here is the shopping list of things we need: Setting up an Electron friendly WSL 2 environment

#Yarn run dev build generate upgrade#

Once we have WSL 2 installed, we can boot it up (I also installed neofetch).Дouble check youвЂ™re running WSL 2, by opening Powershell and typing wsl -l -v, if not, upgrade with wsl -set-version Ubuntu-20.04 2. While WSL 1 had a slow filesystem and some package compatibility issues, WSL 2 is a full-blown Ubuntu linux install, so out of the box everything that works on Linux, works on Windows.ДЇor this guide, IвЂ™m assuming youвЂ™re using Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04 on WSL 2.

#Yarn run dev build generate update#

IвЂ™ve been using WSL 2, which was officially released in the 2004 Windows update earlier this year. WSL, or the Windows Subsystem for Linux, is an official component of Windows 10 that runs a full build of Linux right inside of Windows.

WSL provides an awesome tech-stack, so in this article IвЂ™ll show you how to set up your WSL2 environment for cross-platform development. I did most of my Beekeeper Studio development work in Ubuntu, running natively inside Windows, using the Windows Subsystem for Linux. It is like VSCode, but for SQL.Д«eekeeper Studio is built with Electron, a cross-platform desktop app development framework built on top of NodeJS and Chromium. This year we released the first version of Beekeeper Studio, a cross-platform SQL editor and database manager.
