1 00:00:06,679 --> 00:00:13,189 In this video I want to show you two things that you can do to facilitate working with Linux if you're on Windows. 2 00:00:14,490 --> 00:00:17,750 Thing number one is Ubuntu. 3 00:00:18,399 --> 00:00:24,480 We installed WSL in lesson 1.6. Now how do you access it? Pretty simple. 4 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,230 Go to the search bar and type Ubuntu. 5 00:00:29,219 --> 00:00:32,299 That will give access to your WSL instance. 6 00:00:33,859 --> 00:00:40,350 Who am I is showing me who I am, LS is showing me current files and 7 00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:46,840 LS a showing me all the files in there. And that is the WSL environment. 8 00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:51,030 But I told you before that WSL is probably not the 9 00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:54,659 best way to get familiar with the Linux operating system. 10 00:00:55,469 --> 00:01:00,609 If you are on Windows and you want to connect remotely, you can use Mobile Xterm. 11 00:01:01,950 --> 00:01:05,719 Let me show you mobaxterm. I have already installed 12 00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:09,489 mobaxterm and this is what the interface looks like. 13 00:01:10,030 --> 00:01:15,040 A common way to access Linux service remotely from Windows is Mobile Xterm. 14 00:01:15,739 --> 00:01:21,409 Mobile Xterm allows you to define different sessions. As you can see, WSL Ubuntu is already available. 15 00:01:22,290 --> 00:01:27,000 If you want to create a new session, you just open this session icon, 16 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,709 you click on SSH and you enter the IP address of the remote host. 17 00:01:34,209 --> 00:01:36,890 Also it's recommended to specify a username. 18 00:01:38,250 --> 00:01:41,409 If necessary, specify your port and then you click ok. 19 00:01:42,489 --> 00:01:45,430 And that's going to establish the session to the remote computer. 20 00:01:46,109 --> 00:01:51,545 As this is the first time I'm connecting to the remote computer, it doesn't know the 21 00:01:51,545 --> 00:01:56,980 remote computer identity. So I need to click Accept to accept the SSH key material. 22 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,939 And then I have my login prompt and in my login prompt I'm 23 00:02:01,939 --> 00:02:06,400 typing my password. And Mobile Extorm can catch this password. That is convenient. 24 00:02:07,019 --> 00:02:09,340 So do with it whatever you want to do. 25 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,039 And if you don't want to catch it, that is fine as well. 26 00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:18,763 I'm in my remote computer now and that is what matters. So that means 27 00:02:18,763 --> 00:02:23,926 that from Windows interface I have full access to the Linux environment. This is 28 00:02:23,926 --> 00:02:29,090 how I recommend you use Linux if you want to connect to it remotely. 29 00:02:30,569 --> 00:02:35,949 Mobile Extrum for remote connections, Virtual machine for the most direct experience. 30 00:02:36,909 --> 00:02:42,599 And if you really cannot or do not want to do anything else, WSL is possible as well.
