Windows Support #61

Open PierrunoYT opened 1 year ago

PierrunoYT commented 1 year ago

Can you add Windows Support?

dziban303 commented 1 year ago

It works on Windows. Use Docker Desktop in conjunction with WSL2. Install usbipd to give access to your USB bus to WSL2 and Docker. Then follow the instruction in the repo.

Sorry for asking a noob question but can you please provide instructions on how to configure usbipd after installation. I'm having trouble getting it done. when I run "usbipd wsl attach --busid 1-2" I get this error "The selected WSL distribution is not running; keep a command prompt to the distribution open to leave it running."

PLEASE HELP...!!!

Remove "WSL" from the command, and try again.

Not working, this error comes when i run without wsl...

dziban303 commented 1 year ago

wsl needs to be in there but it's trying to attach to a instance that isn't running, like it says in the error message. Try starting Docker so that its WSL instance starts. If that doesn't work you need to attach it to a different distro.

Run wsl --list which will show you what distros you have installed. image

Then you can run usbipd wsl attach -b 1-2 -d Ubuntu or whatever to bind to that instance. You will, of course, need it running first.

If you don't have anything but docker-desktop and docker-desktop-data you may need to install, for example, Ubuntu. I don't know, I've never tried running WSL without a real linux distro installed as that's kind of the point of WSL.

I have little knowledge when it comes to Linux and docker, what I did was just installed docker and searched for "shajen/sdr-scanner" within docker, download it, and ran it. then try to figure out "usbipd"... Do I need to download a Linux distro as well?

As you said I only have these two entries...

dziban303 commented 1 year ago

Like I said, I don't know. This is the blind leading the blind, I really can't offer any more suggestions, sorry. Good luck

Yeah I didn't realize you were using CMD since I wasn't paying attention. Try launching the WSL Ubuntu Terminal instead of CMD and try there. That's usually how I use WSL.
