Hopefully Microsoft AppStore is not blocked, so installing WSL is not an issue. Mine was blocked so I had to do this:
Skip this step if you can install WSL2 from AppStore or it is already installed.
# run Powershell as Administrator dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart # restart your Windows box # I enabled my VPN wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04 set version to wls2 wsl --set-version <distro name> 2 replacing <distro name> with the name of the Linux distribution that you want to update. For example, wsl --set-version Ubuntu-20.04 2 will set your Ubuntu 20.04 or simply: wsl --set-default-version 2 # Download and run kernel update - wsl_update_x64.msi
Prerequisite: AWS CLI is installed on Windows
Make aws sso work with Windows and WSL2 on ubuntu 22.04
— if pip is not installed – you might have to:
sudo apt-get update after that Run sudo apt install python3-pip
install awscli2 — make SURE it is V2 of the awscli
Here is one way to do that on ubuntu wsl2
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install
check the version with this:
aws --version # should show v2
add these two lines to your wsl2 .bashrc – to share the windows .aws/config with WSL – after you installed aws cli
export AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE=/mnt/c/Users//.aws/credentials export AWS_CONFIG_FILE=/mnt/c/Users//.aws/config
cat .bashrc | grep -i aws_
export AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE=/mnt/c/Users//.aws/credentials
export AWS_CONFIG_FILE=/mnt/c/Users//.aws/config
— it’s easier to do the “aws sso login –profile
— now use the same profile you did originally on Windows
— but it does work to aws sso login from WSL2 – just clutsier… stick to sso on windows
aws s3 ls –profile nonamedev

doesn’t matter than your bash userid does not match your windows, cuz you are using your windows config file
and as a bonus install terminal if Microsoft AppStore is blocked with this:
winget install --id Microsoft.WindowsTerminal -e
