Usage instructions aren't working #85

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

I was trying to follow the instructions in the Usage section of the README.md. After running the first step, I noticed that wsl-terminal/open-wsl.exe is not executable on my system.

$ bash -c "wget https://github.com/goreliu/wsl-terminal/releases/download/v0.8.8/wsl-terminal-0.8.8.7z && 7z x wsl-terminal-0.8.8.7z"

You can run open-wsl.exe in explorer.exe.
