I would recommend using WSL2, for sure! (and @NateDhaliwal link is perfect for that)

You can also try [Install Discourse for development using Docker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-discourse-for-development-using-docker/102009/1) but I personally use @NateDhaliwal’s suggestion.

Doing this without Docker results is a faster local install, but it’s more maintenance.
