đĒInstalling the node and the qclient on Windows WSL
Activating WSL and installing Ubuntu
Activate WSL on Windows to be able to run Linux and Ubuntu. Here is a great tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxTW22y8zV8 (you just need to follow the first 7 minutes or so)
Once you have Linux available and Ubuntu installed, to access Ubuntu via terminal you run:
Installing the node
I have not personally tested this but I think once you are into Ubuntu you could simply install the Q1 - Node Quickstart Menu and take it from there.
One issue you could have on Windows is related to option 1 in the menu (Prepare your server). That script does various operations on your machine that could throw errors for Windows.
If so, no problem, just move directly to option 2 and 3.
Remember, you can also follow the Node Auto-installer if the QONE menu is not working for you.
Finally, f you have issues with these automated scripts, simply follow the Node step by step installation instead.
Installing the qclient
The qclient is a software that allows you to manage your QUIL tokens without having to run a node.
If you want to install the qclient on Windows WSL without running a node simply follow these steps:
Create the ceremonyclient and client folders:
Set release OS and arch variables (change these if needed - on Windows WSL they shoudl be ok):
download qclient:
Done!
Now you should be able to use the qclient commands for token transfers
These will only work after v2.0
