Step by Step Solution

If you are now using Ubuntu for Windows 10 (downloaded from the app store), you can change it to that as well.

Ubuntu gets installed in Windows' PATH by default, so just change the default shell to:

ubuntu.exe

That's it. Just remember that to get to your code, cd to /mnt/(driveletter)/wherever/your/files/sit.
