| + | === Adding useful packages === | ||
| + | |||
| + | There is not that much installed by default in Ubuntu, and we use ''apt insall'' to get ready for some real work! | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code>$ sudo apt install gcc libglu1-mesa mesa-utils x11-apps xterm xfce4-terminal emacs evince eog imagemagick nco cdo netcdf-bin ncview</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Notes: | ||
| + | * Some of the installed packages (''nco cdo netcdf-bin ncview'') are used for handling data files in //NetCDF format// may not be useful to people outside LSCE | ||
| + | * Adding lots of extra packages requires **much more disk space**, and the size of the ''.vhdx'' will increase significantly! | ||
| + | * <code>$ ls -lh /mnt/d/WSL_Distributions/Ubuntu_custom/ext4.vhdx | ||
| + | 4.7G Sep 16 18:02 /mnt/d/WSL_Distributions/Ubuntu_custom/ext4.vhdx</code> | ||
| + | * Size of the [[other:win10wsl#creating_a_backup|backup]] after adding the extra packages: we go from 549 Mb to 1.2 Gb!\\ 1.2G Sep 19 13:52 WSL_Ubuntu_20.04.5_LTS_stdu_22-09-19.tar.gz | ||
