## WSL: Verification and Setup
162+
163+
If you've chosen to use WSL, first verify that your installed version meets system requirements by running the following command in your terminal:
164+
165+
```console
166+
wsl --version
167+
```
168+
169+
If version details do not appear, you’re likely using the inbox version of WSL. This version does not support modern capabilities and must be updated.
170+
171+
You can update or install WSL using one of the following methods:
172+
173+
### Option 1: Install or update WSL via the terminal
174+
1. Open PowerShell or Windows Command Prompt in administrator mode.
175+
2. Run either the install or update command. For more information, refer to [Install WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install).
176+
```console
177+
wsl --install
178+
179+
wsl --update
180+
```
181+
182+
### Option 2: Install WSL via the MSI package
183+
If Microsoft Store access is blocked due to security policies:
184+
1. Go to the official WSL GitHub Releases page: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/releases
185+
2. Download the `.msi` installer from the latest stable release (under the Assets dropdown).
186+
3. Run the downloaded installer and follow the setup instructions.
