Is WSL definitely required?

You can derive an appropriately slashed WIN_HOME variable as follows:

WIN_HOME=${USERPROFILE//\\/\/}
WIN_HOME=/${WIN_HOME/:/}

$ echo $WIN_HOME
/C/Users/langdonx

Or even use $LOCALAPPDATA to go straight to the app data directory without hard-coding that.

sudo would be the only other hurdle there. If the instructions said to run the script with sudo, would the script itself need to sudo the commands inside?
