As per some of the earlier comments, I also ran into some difficulties and errors while trying to follow this guide - tried on both a Windows 10 and Windows 11 desktop. After some trial-and-error I finally have steps that result in a fully working development environment under Windows 11, tested on the latest 22H2 build and also on the upcoming 23H2 Release Preview (I assume it will also work on the newest build of Windows 10) If it’s of use to anybody, I have just posted the guide here:- > [@Guide to Setting Up Discourse Development Environment - Windows 11](https://meta.discourse.org/t/guide-to-setting-up-discourse-development-environment-windows-11/282227): > > Hi Everyone, After spending some time attempting to get a working development environment up and running under Windows 11 / WSL2 I thought I would share the steps that I have followed. This is my first post here so I hope that this is of use to somebody slight_smile I am a Systems Administrator used to working with Windows so this has been an interesting journey learning Linux / Ruby / Discourse etc. A few things seem to have changed since the guide for Windows 10 was written and I ran into… Hopefully this helps people like myself who are trying to get Discourse running under Windows 😃 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-discourse-on-windows-for-development/75149)._
