WSL is more than a shell. At its heart it's a kernel driver that mimics the Linux kernel, translating Linux syscalls into Windows. As such, it runs unmodified Linux binaries, that are just the same as the ones you would run on a Linux system. It is a developer tool (not designed nor intended to run production code) and it is a preview, so you should expect things not to work as they are either not yet implemented or downright buggy. Openjdk, for example, does not work (yet) because it depends on the keytool program which in turn depends on having a proper /proc filesystem which WSL currently lacks. However, and since remember that this will run any Linux binary, people had success installing from the Oracle JDK tarball directly instead of using apt-get. Your mileage may vary, and you should expect bugs, but the direction is pretty clear and the WSL team wants any binary to just work. I encourage you to file issues at https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/ for both general and accessibility questions, but please do not hesitate to reach out directly to me on this list or privately if you need help or want to share feedback. -- Gianugo Rabellino Director of Accessibility, Cloud and Enterprise division Microsoft Corp. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of mattias jonsson Sent: Sunday, May 1, 2016 12:02 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] windows 10 Linux bash yes native programs are supported if i understand correct e.g ssh Den 2016-05-01 kl. 20:37, skrev Darragh Ó Héiligh:
You're trying to install a native Linux application into a Bash shell.
From what I understand, this functionality is a shell. You cant think of it like a Linux environment within Windows. Therefore installing things like Java won't be possible.
Use cases for me at the moment are quite simple. Using commands like cat, grep, cat, awk etc for looking at logs.

microsoft itself says the shell are for devs
fine but how to insatll openjdk-7-dev or what the name now are in ubuntu
the install itself fail because a required filesystem are not mounted
so? are the shell not for java development?

I'd be more than happy to answer questions on this topic, and even happier to gather any feedback about accessibility of the bash shell (of which I am a great fan). I'm in a remote campground with almost nonexistent internet access right now, but I will be back at my desk tomorrow and able to help.

Yeah, I think your right. But I do have a question on this topic that someone will hopefully be able to answer. Where are the system files of this located? I would expectt something like app data, but haven't been able to find it.
