GUI Applications
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Step 1: Installing an X Server
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to run GUI applications in WSL, you need to first install an X Server on your Windows machine.
|
|
I recommend installing `Xming <https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/>`_.
|
|
|
|
Step 2: Set DISPLAY Environment Variable
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Next, you have to tell your WSL environment to use the X Server by setting the ``DISPLAY`` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
I added the following to my ``~/.bashrc``::
|
|
|
|
export DISPLAY=:0
|
