Download Kosmorro on Windows
Kosmorro can run through the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
Yup, that's cheating.
- Download a Linux distribution (for instance, Debian) from the Windows Store.
- Start Debian from the Start menu, and follow the configuration instructions in the terminal.
- Open your
.bashrcfile:
and add the following line at the end:nano $HOME/.bashrc
Finally, save and exit with Ctrl-O, Enter, Ctrl-X.export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" - By default, Debian is in English. If you want to configure another language, see this tutorial.
- Install Python and pipx:
sudo apt install python3 pipx - Quit Debian (
exit) and restart to ensure the changes are taken in account. - Install Kosmorro:
pipx install kosmorro
