wsl install docs need updating to handle appx format #2237

Open maphew opened 1 year ago

Describe the bug

The docs for installing YunoHost on WSL need updating (https://yunohost.org/en/install/hardware:wsl). The debian package downloaded from the command shown uses .appx microsoft store format and does not immediately include install.tar.gz needed for the next step in the docs, which blocks carrying out the install.

Workaround

  1. Unpack the downloaded debian.zip
  2. Rename .appx .zip >> unpack the new zip with right architecture (which is always x64 for win10?)
    Expand-Archive DistroLauncher-Appx_1.12.2.0_x64.zip -Destination-Path .\x
  3. Run wsl import with path to x temp folder:
    wsl --import yunohost .\yunohost .\debian\x\install.tar.gz --version 2
