# Building Firefox on Windows using WSL
|
|
|
|
These steps were verified to work as of June 2024.
|
|
|
|
1. Install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) on Windows by running Windows Powershell as Administrator and typing:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
wsl --install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Reboot Windows
|
|
|
|
3. Upon reboot, you should be asked to set up a user and password for Linux. If not, open Ubuntu from the Start menu.
|
|
|
|
4. Follow the {ref}`building-firefox-on-linux` instructions.
|

|
For Mercurial to work, you will need to follow the instructions for bash and restart WSL.
