## How to use NEAR SDK JS on Windows

You can develop smart contracts on Windows using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2).
In order to use WSL2, follow the next steps:

- Run `PowerShell` as Administrator
- Execute `wsl --install` to install Ubuntu and do additional setup automatically. Check more details [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install)
- Restart your machine
- `WSL2` will continue setup process on start. Setup your username and password when prompted.
- Check [this](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/javascript/nodejs-on-wsl) guide to setup `npm`, `node`, `npx`, `VSCode` and other tools of your choice in order to start developing.

In case of any issues of setting up WSL2 make sure that:

- Your Windows OS is up to date
- Virtualisation is turned on in BIOS
- `Windows Subsystem for Linux` and `Virtual Machine Platform` are turned on in `Windows Features` (Start -> Search -> Turn Windows Feature On or Off)
