 How to setup WSL (Bash on Ubuntu)
 =================================
 
-Step 1: Activate Developer Mode
+Depending on your Windows version you need to activate Developer Mode first.
+How this is done is explained at the end of this page.
 
-Since WSL/Bash on Ubuntu on Windows is a developer feature, first the developer mode has to be actived.
-Therefore we go into the Settings app and select *Update & Security*.

-Step 3: Setup WSL
------------------
+Step 2: Install Linux
+---------------------
+
+After having enabled the WSL feature, we can visit the Microsoft Windows Store to download Linux.
+
+In order to do so, we open the Windows Store app, and search for *Linux*. We select the *Run Linux on Windows* menu entry.
+
+.. image:: ./images/wsl/select_from_store.png
+   :scale: 30
+
 
-Despite the interest to hide any command line as much as possible from the user, the following initial setup can not be automised.
-First a Command Prompt or better PowerShell must be started.
-Search for the *Windows PowerShell* in the start menu.
+There are many different flavors (comparable to strains in biology) of linux and some are already offered on the Windows store.
+Best compatibility for *bioGUI* has Ubuntu.
 
-.. image:: ./images/wsl/powershell.PNG
+*Important*: You should consider using the latest Ubuntu version available. This is Ubuntu 18.04 at the time of writing. You specifically have to search for *Ubuntu 18.04* in the store !
+
+.. image:: ./images/wsl/select_from_store_ubuntu.png
    :scale: 30
 
-Next we type ``bash`` into the command line and Windows will download *WSL*.
-However, before the download starts, first the user has to acknowledge that he wants to download *Bash on Ubuntu on Windows* by typing in ``y`` and confirming with ``<enter>``.
+Now let the Windows store install your Linux app and once that is done, open your newly installed Linux:

+.. image:: ./images/wsl/start_ubuntu.png
    :scale: 30
 
-Finally, after *WSL* has been downloaded and extracted, *WSL* has to create a linux user account.
+The black screen will guide you through the install process.
+It will first unpack itself and then ask you to create a linux user account.
+
 It is recommended to choose a username and password you can easily remember.
-Remembering the password is essential here, as it will be needed for any installation one is performing on *WSL*.

+Step 3: Prepare WSL
+-------------------
+
+Before you can use *bioGUI* on *WSL*/Ubuntu please make sure to run the *First time Ubuntu/WSL/apt-get Setup* from *bioGUI*.
+For the *sudo/user password* please enter the password for your linux user account from the step above.

+If you are running an old Windows 10 version, you first need to activate developer mode before you are able to enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux feature.

+Step 0: Activate Developer Mode
 
-    #! First Time WSL Setup
+Since WSL/Bash on Ubuntu on Windows is a developer feature, first the developer mode has to be actived.
+Therefore we go into the Settings app and select *Update & Security*.

-    echo $2 | sudo -S apt-get -y install build-essential
-    echo $2 | sudo -S apt-get -y install dos2UNIX
+We further navigate into the *For developers* tab on the left.
 
-The above commands must be executed once for this purpose.
-For ease of use, *bioGUI* provides an *Install Template Module* template as well as a first time *WSL* setup install template.
-After downloading both and executing the first time *WSL* setup *WSL* is set up to be used with *bioGUI*.
+.. image:: ./images/wsl/dev_mode_2.PNG
+   :scale: 30
 
-The first time *WSL* setup essentially first updates the *Ubuntu* packet manager and then installs most common compilation libraries as well as a tool to convert Windows line endings into UNIX ones.
-Using the *Install Template Module* one has to enter the password of the newly created user account.
+In the *For developers* options we switch from *Windows Store apps* to *Developer mode*.
