I'm following this tutorial. Everything seems to be fine (linux subsystem is setup fine, I think), but WSL is not showing up as a platform toolset for compilation for C/C++ projects. enter image description here

Using visual studio 16.9.5

    • Run this command: dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart

  2. Restart machine

  3. download and install linux app

Configure linux environment:

  1. sudo apt-get update
  2. sudo apt install g++ gdb make rsync zip
  3. sudo apt-get install openssh-client
  4. sudo apt-get install nano
  5. sudo service ssh restart
