I realised that some users don't know how to get started despite our current installation guide.

Things that are missing:

  • how to launch WSL for windows users
  • how to install Anaconda
  • etc

Maybe we could have a detailed guide with Visual Studio Code.

I can take care of this
I think we'd need only one hidden/dropdown menu with instructions for windows users:

  • Installing VSCode. link to download
  • Installing WSL. wsl --install on a cmd window is enough
  • Running WSL wsl and installing anaconda. It's just two commands according to their page.
  • Optionally, opening a windows folder in VSCode from WSL. This is not straightforward afaik, since you need to cd mnt/c/WINDOWS PATH HERE and I don't think this is common knowledge. Might also want to explain that the WSL files exist on another directory. Could also explain how to activate the WSL terminal from within VSCode.

I don't think opening a windows folder in VSC from WSL is needed. At least I never had to do this.

Sure feel free to have a go at this!
