Windows WSL information in README.md may be incomplete/may need improvement #97

Closed mustiboost closed 2 years ago

In the README.md file it says: "Tip for Windows WSL linux user. Create a symbolic link from wslview to xdg-open in /usr/local/bin so that run-tutorial uses the windows browser."

I don't know about WSL1 but in WSL2 (using Ubuntu) you do not need to create a symbolic link. What you do need to do in that case, though, is to install the "xdg-utils" package with sudo apt install xdg-utils, so xdg-open is available, as xdg-open is not installed by default. After that Microsoft Edge (my default) pops up when I run (clog:run-tutorial 1) . I think eliminating the symbolic link part may make it easier to understand how to run clog for beginners than having to deal with symbolic links (as easy as it is).
