Installing in an Ubuntu WSL2 on Windows

The following instructions apply when you install the product inside Ubuntu 20.04 WSL2 on Windows.

Note: The embedded Rumba Mainframe Display view is not supported in this scenario. You can use the HACloud TN3270 Session Server which is available with the product instead. See Terminal Emulation with Micro Focus Host Access for the Cloud.

Prerequisites

You need to have a new instance of a Ubuntu 20.04 WSL2 running on Windows.

In Windows, open the Ubuntu WSL2 console.
Download and install Java. Eclipse supports versions 11 through to 15.
Create a symbolic link in Ubuntu from java-install-dir/bin/java to /usr/bin/java.
This enables the installer to locate Java when you run commands as the root user.
