This was split from the win 11 wsl dev environment setup thread.

**My issues relate to a dev setup (non-docker) installed on ubuntu 22.04.3**

…Thanks for this, I had to do some extra manual steps though as the edited installer didn’t seem to install npm or ruby latest versions

Also using **ubuntu-22.04**

Install latest npm using (option 2): `https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-22-04`

Install pnmp: `npm install -g pnpm`

Install latest ruby (method 3): `https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2024/01/install-ruby-ubuntu-24-04/`

Add this to bash.rc:

```plaintext
export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"

```

Install imagemagik manually, the latest version (make sure you go to the " Install latest version of ImageMagick from the source code (for advanced and desperate users)" section: `https://itsfoss.com/install-imagemagick-ubuntu`

Only after all of this was I able to log on to the instance….
