## 🪟 Windows Installation (WSL2)
HOPS runs on Windows through WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) with excellent compatibility and performance. This approach leverages the full Linux environment within Windows.
### Prerequisites Setup
**1. Enable WSL2:**
```powershell
# Run in PowerShell as Administrator
wsl --install
# Restart computer when prompted
```
**2. Install Ubuntu Distribution:**
```powershell
# Install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (recommended)
wsl --install Ubuntu-22.04
# Set up username and password when prompted
```
**3. Install Docker Desktop:**
- Download from [Docker Desktop for Windows](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/)
- Enable WSL2 integration during installation
- Ensure "Use WSL 2 based engine" is checked in Docker settings
### HOPS Installation on WSL2
**1. Open WSL2 Terminal:**
```bash
# Launch Ubuntu from Start Menu or run:
wsl -d Ubuntu-22.04
```
**2. Install HOPS (same as Linux):**
```bash
# Clone inside WSL2 filesystem (important for performance)
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/skiercm/hops.git
cd hops
chmod +x hops install uninstall setup
# Run installation
sudo ./setup
```
### ⚠️ Important Notes for Windows Users
**File Location:** Always run HOPS from the WSL2 filesystem (`~/hops/`) for optimal performance. Avoid running from `/mnt/c/` (Windows drives).
**Media Access:** Your Windows media folders can be accessed at:
- `C:\Users\YourName\``/mnt/c/Users/YourName/`
- External drives → `/mnt/d/`, `/mnt/e/`, etc.
**Docker Integration:** Services will be accessible from both Windows and WSL2:
- Web interfaces work from Windows browsers
- File shares accessible from Windows Explorer via `\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu-22.04\home\username\hops\`
**Performance:** WSL2 provides 95% of native Linux performance when files are stored in the WSL2 filesystem.
## 🚀 Quick Start
