I am trying to get Holochain installed on WSL. I have used Nix in WSL without issue for quite some time but when I try to instal the Holochain tools I get an issue relating to a build group not existing:
error: the group ‘nixbld’ specified in ‘build-users-group’ does not exist
Has anyone encountered this? Or have a fix for WSL?
Hi @glottologist,
I’ve hit some bumps in the road while using WSL.
What linux disto are you using? Ubuntu 20.10?
And how did you install nix? This way: https://nixos.org/guides/install-nix.html or some other way, via snaps or apt-install?
I tried installing nix via apt-install on Ubuntu and it didn’t work.
You can install Holochain on WSL2 without nix. Grab the repo and install the crate with cargo within WSL2.
