Getting Started

Install

Linux binary first. npm, Bun, and JSR when you already have a Node toolchain in WSL.

Run inside WSL. Prefer the Linux binary (no Node; arm64: wsl-shadow-linux-arm64). npx / bunx can resolve to Windows, which is the bug this finds. Checksums in SHA256SUMS.txt.

Binary (recommended)

curl -fLo wsl-shadow https://github.com/kanchingyg/wsl-shadow/releases/latest/download/wsl-shadow-linux-x64
chmod +x wsl-shadow
sudo mv wsl-shadow /usr/local/bin/wsl-shadow

npm

npm i -g wsl-shadow
npx wsl-shadow --json

Bun

bunx wsl-shadow --json

JSR

bunx jsr add @kanchingyg/wsl-shadow

The home page install panel mirrors these tabs: wsl-shadow install.
