Love the idea here - but I cannot complete the install on my Windows 10 machine. I was able to complete every step in the install guide except

  1. Set shell to wsl.exe
    In Hyper: chsh -s $(which zsh)

The shell returns

chsh: option requires an argument -- 's'
Usage: chsh [options] [LOGIN]

I was able to set the shell in the settings to the wsl.exe - does this accomplish the same thing?

Further, if I run my Ubuntu image in windows, I can use git commands, but if i try to run git in Hyper + noobs it says command not found.

Have I crossed some wire along the way?

chsh may have failed because $(which zsh) returned nothing. If you run which zsh does it return anything?

I haven't run this in Windows in a while, I'll give it a run through and see what happens.

which zsh returns nothing, the prompt just reloads. At what point in the install should zsh be installed?

Can you include your hyper config?

Do you have this entry?
shell: 'C:\\Windows\\System32\\wsl.exe',

I did get it set - but as I was typing out my reply, I realized it was almost like it was hooked into a different shell. I realized I also have Kali Linux installed, so when I removed it and restarted Hyper, noobs is working!

Thanks for your help!
