I am using a mac and currently have node and npm installed. This works fine if I use the normal terminal. But it is not recognised in my Webstorm (using Ultimate version) terminal. Getting following output:
$ node
/bin/ksh: node: not found
$ npm
/bin/ksh: npm: not found
$
Also if I try to click up to go back to past commands, it doesn't work either. I end up with following output:
^[[A
If I try with others such as Java, it works fine as follows:
$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_162"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_162-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.162-b12, mixed mode)
Noticed that Webstorm is definitely picking up my node path considering it is visible when I try to create a new project as shown in following image:
What am I doing wrong? I have seen setups in colleagues laptops and they do not have node/npm set up in bash_profile but everything still works. Could I get some help with this please. Thanks.
It's to do with the choice of your shell. looks like you have chosen to use ksh. Switch it back to something like bash.
I would suggest to do this gobally so that you don't have to keep doing this every time you open a new project.
Thus close your project, click Configure on bottom left and choose Preferences.
Select Tools -> Terminal
Under Application Settings, change your Shell path to /bin/bash (it should be /bin/ksh currently).
Apply and ok. Open your project and try to perform above actions which should work now.
I am trying to use bash on Windows 10, but I'm getting this message when tried to run bash:
Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.
Distributions can be installed by visiting the Windows Store:
https://aka.ms/wslstore Press any key to continue...
When I go to that url which opens the Windows Store app, there no sign of any Linux distribution there.
My windows version is(as in my right bottom corner of the screen):
Windows 10 Enterprise Insider Preview. Evaluation copy.Build
16215.rs_prerelease.170603-1840
I follow the instructions in this guide Installation Guide and also was watching this video Editing code and files on Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10 from Scott Hanselman, but they didn't get the message of no installed distribution.
Any Help?
When the Windows Store opened, there was no Distro to choose, then I found this command lxrun /install and worked for me as well.
You will get something like this as an output:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>lxrun /install
Warning: lxrun.exe is only used to configure the legacy Windows Subsystem for Linux distribution.

I'm getting a similar bug after trying to uninstall and reinstall.
For me I had to open a cmd prompt as administrator and run lxrun /install
I get this when I have recently rebooted. If I wait 5 minutes, the problem fixes itself !
The top answers written for this question are more than enough. I just had trouble following them because lxrun command has been depreceated, so I get the error
'lxrun' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.
when I try to run this command with cmd.
It has been replaced with wsl command. You can get more info on this issue here - https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/425
When you run wsl /install, there is a chance you may still get the error that you had earlier posted in your question. In that case, simply go to the link https://aka.ms/wslstore as you had gone earlier. If you don't see anything coming up, simply search for Ubuntu and install the same. (If you search with the term wsl though, you will get to see other Linux flavors too and then you can download any of your choice)
It seems that the link given in the command doesn't work. Here's the actual link to the microsoft store for Ubuntu.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/store/p/ubuntu/9nblggh4msv6?rtc=1
You have to go to https://aka.ms/wslstore this link and download ubuntu on windows. After that you can use bash on windows.
If you have any problems with running lxrun /install (for example on ltsb Windows version) try manual mode.
First, go to the folder with downloaded .appx file and run following commands (change filename if needed):
Rename-Item ~/Ubuntu.appx ~/Ubuntu.zip
Expand-Archive ~/Ubuntu.zip ~/Ubuntu
After finishing cd into new folder and run ubuntu.exe file. That's it.
If you get this error after installing a distribution using the windows store, and WSL was working previously, you may need to make sure that the LxssManager service is running, since it often stops after a Windows update or a reboot.
Go to services.msc, and search for LxssManager and start it; if it is running already, restart it.
For everyone who is getting
'lxrun' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
or
Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.
Distributions can be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store:
https://aka.ms/wslstore
Open microsoft store, install 'Ubuntu' then open the app. This will install ubuntu and later you can use wsl command since lxrun is deprecated
Go to add or remove programs
Install Windows subsystem for Linux
Go to https://aka.ms/wslstore, which will take you to the Microsoft Store
Select and install a Linux distribution
lxrun /install
Works on a Administrator Command Prompt for Windows 10 Professional, Version 1803 Build 17134.165
This installs GNU/Linux by default whereas there is an option to select between:
Ubuntu
openSUSE Leap 42
SUSE Linux Enterprise
Debian GNU/Linux
Kali Linux
If the given link (https://aka.ms/wslstore) works, it openes the windows store for me with an error saying something is wrong on their side and to try again later.
It's actually easier to solve this problem that other solutions listed here. If you run wslconfig /l and if the output is:
Windows Subsystem for Linux Distributions:
Ubuntu (Default)
Just run wslconfig /s Ubuntu to set Ubuntu as default again. It should start working now.
Edit:
I've also found that if this problem occurs on a fresh boot, then you just wait for a few minutes (10 minutes max) and this error automatically disappears.
Edit 2:
I've also found that this error is sometimes also due to the corresponding service not running. Run CMD as administrator and run
net start LxssManager
For running bash on windows ubuntu is required to be installed.
As you've already added bash from programs and features, now you need to install Ubuntu. Contrary to what is seen in most of the installation guides on web, it does not gets installed by running 'bash.exe'.
You can simply go to Microsoft store in search for 'Bash' or 'Ubuntu'and install Ubuntu 18 LTS from there.
After installation you'll be able to use the terminal and all its commands.
Run the bash command in git bash windows. It worked !!
As of 2022, New Linux distributions are available for Windows 10 as well as Windows 11 like Kali Linux and Ubuntu. Both available from Microsoft Store. Someone watching this question now can visit Microsoft Store to Download them..
I had this same issue. But when you go to the windows store you can search for ubuntu and then install the ubuntu app and it works. I think most of the tutorials on the net are from the beta version and have afterwards never been updated.
https://insights.ubuntu.com/2017/07/11/windows-10-loves-ubuntu-loveislove/
Note: This is also old. You do not need to be on the insider builds. I'm not and it worked.
The only thing that worked for me is described here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#downloading-distros
https://aka.ms/wsl-ubuntu-1804
manually install it or run Add-AppxPackage.\.appx from PowerShell
The link to the store appears to have a region lock in it, resulting in errors for many visitors.
However there are different Ubuntu distributions to be downloaded. See image below, image is however in Dutch but it will show results.
So pick a version you desire and it will result in a working bash.
The actual answer to the question query is: The user exists with Ubuntu already installed. But WSL command does not find anything in CMD.exe "Command Line" "System does not find distribution."
You need to start the below WSL command from Windows Start Menu. And then the old Linux System will show up on WSL in the command line as found.
If this doesn't work for you? Just start up PowerShell with Administrator and:
WSL --help
WSL "only this command, will start the Linux default distro selected"
You can then start up using this command with CMD.exe Administrator in Windows:
lxrunoffline l "This will now list all your distros"
With an option to remove old distros copied to Windows folders are with perhaps Ubuntu18.04 such way that you will have to use Linux to remove older folders, do not try to copy or edit files in a distro with Windows Apps. You risk integrity problems as well as many errors followed by huge processing time. Use folder /mnt to find your drive with Linux and use commands there to further finish your work as perhaps copying the home directory into a new distro.
My solution to move "not copy" my distro then was: "to give space for C:"
lxrunoffline m -n Ubuntu-18.04 -d d:\wslinstalled\Ubuntu-18.04 "remember folder names"
"Remember folder name such as Ubuntu-18.04 for a specific movement. Unless you will overwrite everything on that folder name with also the lxrunoffline files and you risk losing older copies if you use one folder name. You might end up with a strange name to your project if you just use one directory."
Lxrunoffline has several other commands if you need help just run:
lxrunoffline
like beginner_ said in his answer you need to go to the store and look for the distros you want to install.
Please see the following link to understand what has changed and what you can excpect or what distros you can look for(the list is outdated so just try to find an updated list or just try your luck).
I am running on my machine without the developer mode Ubuntu, OpenSuse and Kali.
Access to Microsoft Store is blocked by my company. For me following worked in PowerShell (admin) -
lxrun /install
Go to cmd, and then run the following command:
lxrun /install
Typing lxrun /install in elevated command prompt works....
The solution to the error "WSL 2 installation is incomplete",
Execute the following steps:
wsl --install -d Ubuntu ## lxrun is no more, its now replaced with wsl,

I installed Odoo 9 on Mac OSX using Homebrew virtual environment.
I installed npm, less and less-plugin-clean-css.
Finally if I launch Odoo from the Mac Terminal, using the appropriate parameters, everything goes well and I can enter my odoo with localhost:8069.
I then setup PyCharm Community Edition for odoo development, but when I run odoo from within PyCharm I get the error:
"Could not execute command lessc"
and obviously the web layout is totally wrong.
I saw here NodeJS plugin in IntelliJ Community Edition does not work that you cannot use NodeJS plugin with PyCharm CE.
My question then is: "How to enable PyCharm CE to use less and get rid of the error?".
If you are in Pycharm in getting error Could not execute command lessc and you have installed less which you can check by entering lessc command in terminal
Fix:
If you are using virtualenv then activate virtualenv from terminal and restart the server again from terminal, this time it won't give any error.
If you are not using virutalenv then you can just run from terminal server without any problems
I'm not sure why this problem is specific to PyCharm.
I had the same issue from PyCharm Professional, but I solve this issue with this way
When i finish installing the PyCharm pro ,then i set the environment variables in the 'run/debug configuraition'
(/usr/loca/bin)
which value(path) i found is using command "which lessc" in the terminal
Then I think the PyCharm can find lessc, and finnally I get rid of this nightmare
`Could not execute command 'lessc'
For me, updating the node was the solution. It was version 0.10.33. Now it's 6.1.12.
Check out this answer. You must uninstall node and reinstall it in a certain order:

At least that is what worked for me.
I have mintty 1.2-beta1(x86_64-pc-cygwin) installed on my Windows 7 64 bit.
Then I installed krb5-workstation version 1.12.1-2 to cygwin using Cygwin Net Release Setup Program.
But when I execute kinit or klist in cygwin, I got an error:
$ kinit
1 [main] kinit 3912 C:\cygwin64\bin\kinit.exe: *** fatal error - NtCreateEvent(lock): 0xC0000077
Hangup
Restarting cygwin or restarting windows didn't work either.
Could anybody help?
I had the same error when starting xterm, which just appears to flash briefly, then exit producing an xterm.exe.stackdump file. If you give xterm the -hold option you will see the NtCreateEvent error. The root cause of my problem was interference from AVG anti virus, and adding c:\cygwin64\bin\xterm.exe to AVG's exception list made xterm work again.
I'm not sure if it helps, but I had the same error code when I was trying to install CPANminus in Cygwin 64-bit. However the installation worked fine in the 32-bit version. It's not a full solution, but maybe you can try the 32-bit version of Cygwin.
I wanted to run gdm3 on my Windows 7 desktop and ran into the same problems as you had. After some fiddeling, I got a working solution that I'm (very) happy with, so I wanted to share this with you. I did the following (you need to do this only once):
Start the Cygwin Terminal (on your Windows PC)
From the terminal, run xlaunch.exe and follow the dialogs (I ended up using XDMCP; a good article about configuring that can be found here)
Safe the resulting config file to your desktop
From now on, you can just click on the dekstop icon to launch the remote (gdm3) desktop.
AVG seems to be causing the exception including a rsync.exe.stackdump.
If you get on the server side:
rsync: safe_read failed to read 1 bytes [Receiver]: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(276) [Receiver=3.1.1]
or client side:
rsync.exe fatal error - NtCreateEvent(lock): 0xC0000058
try disabling AVG. If it works when disabled, I added the rsync.exe as an AVG program exception and rsync is fine again.
I have a very simple Adobe AIR (HTML + JavaScript) application that I wrote a few months ago. I was using Ubuntu 9.x and the Adobe AIR SDK. I got the source from github today to pick it back up (hadn't been able to work on it for quite some time). I setup a new Ubuntu VM and downloaded the Adobe AIR SDK for Linux. When I tried to run ADL I received a "No such file exists" error.
Actual Error:
max#RoR-Dev:~/src/OpenFlame$ /home/max/air/bin/adl
bash: /home/max/air/bin/adl: No such file or directory
The only difference I can think of is that I'm running a 64 bit version of Ubuntu now instead of 32 bit. Is it not possible to debug Adobe AIR apps on 64 bit Linux? Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I can install to make it work? (I'm not a Linux or AIR expert by any means)
Probably this is your mistake:
./home/max/air/bin/adl
That says to run the program adl located in /home/max/src/OpenFlame/home/max/air/bin/adl. (With the assumption that your home directory, ~, is /home/max.)
The leading . says "start the search in the current working directory".
Try /home/max/air/bin/adl or ~/air/bin/adl.
If you get sick of typing these, you can add ~/air/bin/ to your PATH: edit ~/.profile and add near the end:
if [ -d "$HOME/air/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/air/bin:$PATH"
fi
(Don't forget to source ~/.profile or restart your shell.)
Then you should be able to run adl without adornment and have it start right up.
It figures. After hours of searching, I post a question. Within 10 minutes of posting the question, I find the answer!
Thanks to http://maketecheasier.com/run-32-bit-apps-in-64-bit-linux/2009/08/10/ I realized I could install the 32 bit libraries to make it work:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Very frustrating until I figurd it out.
