Introduction

In the past, there were two options you could access Ubuntu in your machine which runs Windows OS as as a default operating system:

1. Creating a dual boot with Ubuntu
2. Using Virtualization

Nowadays, if you have Windows 10, you can benefit from the Beta Ubuntu feature that ships with Win10. I will show the steps on how to get it to working full.

The Steps

1. Jack explains how to turn on the Ubuntu beta feature on Windows 10.. Once you turn the Ubuntu feature, go to step 2.
2. Install ConEmu, a better, multi-feature terminal emulator
3. Install developement tools
   • I have compiled a small list of tools you can install on your Ubuntu account to make a full development environment.

      sudo apt-get install git
      sudo apt-get install -y subversion
      sudo apt-get install -y ruby-full
      sudo apt-get install -y libdwarf-dev
      sudo apt -y install duff dos2unix ccrypt apcalc sfftw-dev # sfftw: discrete fourier transform
      sudo apt-get install -y lib32z1 lib32ncurses5
      sudo apt-get install -y flex bison build-essential csh libxaw7-dev
      sudo apt-get install -y qemu # to run ARM code: qemu-arm <your_binary>
      sudo apt-get install -y unace rar unrar zip unzip p7zip-full p7zip-rar sharutils 
     

4. Add bash/terminal to select from right-click context., 2
