After going through all the installation process I get the following error:

I have installed ubuntu manually via PowerShell. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/wsl-ubuntu-1604 -OutFile Ubuntu.appx -UseBasicParsing

When I type in Ubuntu and hit enter, I receive a message that the service has not been started.

Edited: When I run in command line (cmd) bash enter image description here

When I type in Ubuntu and hit enter

ubuntu is not the command to start bash.

Start Bash for Windows like so:

  1. Windows Run

    • Win + r -> bash

  2. CMD

    1. Open cmd promt
      • start -> cmd
      • Win + r -> cmd
    2. Run bash

Installation notes:

  1. Enable Linux sub system (docs)
  2. Install ubuntu from the Windows Store (link)
  3. Run bash (as above) and install ubuntu
