Getting Started on Windows
Choose and configure an environment that will work on Windows.
We don’t recommend developing directly on native Windows. Use WSL2 or Codespaces instead. Both give you a more reliable and consistent development experience for Wallabi projects.
- Choose WSL2 if your machine can comfortably support local development. It gives you the best local developer experience for Wallabi app development.
- Choose GitHub Codespaces if your machine struggles with local development workloads, or you want a simpler setup that’s less dependent on your hardware. You start one from the Wallabi app with nothing to install, and connecting VS Code afterwards feels close to working locally.
Set up WSL2 Ubuntu Linux inside Windows.Set up Codespaces Start an environment from the Wallabi app, then connect VS Code for a near native developer experience.
