How to use Bash after Windows 10 Anniversary Update

My name is Ito and I am an infrastructure engineer.

The Windows 10 Anniversary Update has finally arrived!
One thing I'm particularly interested in the "Windows Subsystem for Linux ,
which allows you to use Bash on Windows.

It seems that members of our development team have also been playing around with the evaluation version.

The Anniversary Update will be rolled out to Windows Update, but for those who can't wait, you can update manually.

I thought I would be able to use Bash immediately after the update, but that was not the case, so

I would like to introduce a way to use the Windows Subsystem for Linux after the Anniversary Update

Enable it from the Control Panel

First, enable it as a Windows feature from the Control Panel

Go to [Control Panel] - [Programs and Features] - [Turn Windows features on or off] and
enable "Windows Subsystem for Linux."

Select "Programs and Features"
Konpane

Select "Turn Windows features on or off"

On the Windows Features screen, check "Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta)" and
click OK.
subsys

Click OK to enable it.
After enabling, you will need to restart your computer, so please do so.
reboot

Enable Developer Mode

Since the "Windows Subsystem for Linux" can only be used by developers, you will need
to put Windows into developer mode.

Open the "Settings" app and go to "Update & Security."
(Why are the Control Panel and Settings app separated?)

Go to "For Developers" and select "Developer Mode".
Once you select Developer Mode, the packages will be installed.

Once

Finally, let's try using Bash

Start "bash" from the command prompt

Execute the bash command to start the installation!
After installation, create a UNIX user.
Once you've created the user, you're done!

Make sure you can use unix commands
bash

This is how to use Bash after the Anniversary Update.
However, the command prompt is too lame...

First of all, I guess we need to figure out how to make that look cool

Please refer to the following for available commands. (This is an evaluation version only.)
