# Press Windows key, type "PowerShell", right-click on "Windows PowerShell" and select "Run as administrator"

# Step 2: Enable WSL feature
# Execute the following command in the PowerShell window and restart your computer when prompted
wsl --install

# Step 3: Install a Linux distribution

	on WSL, go to the root folder where .bashrc is located
	nano .bashrc
	scroll to the end of file and add the path & alias using the format below
	export PATH="$PATH:/mnt/c/Program Files/Amazon/AWSCLIV2"

	save
	apply changes by run source command below
