In my system I have enabled the Windows Subsystem for Linux(WSL) and installed Ubuntu on Windows 10.
https://github.com/fabric8io/fabric8-platform/blob/master/INSTALL.md
On top of the WSL, I was trying to install the fabric8 from the scratch with the Minishift using instructions for Ubuntu in the above link and while running the below command, getting error stating that "No User home environment variable found for os windows"
gofabric8 start --minishift --package=system --namespace fabric8
Note: Before running the above commands, I have setup libvirt and qemu-kvm in my WSL
I had the same problem installing fabric8 on Windows. A look into the sourcecode reveals, you need to define a HOME environment variable. In windows CMD try
set HOME=C:\Users\yourHome
That worked for me

Currently I'm working on testing a github repository and I'm following the github's README.md that requires me to run "bash build/build.sh" command line to build environment. But I somehow could not make the command run in my PowerShell. Windows PowerShell keeps showing "Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.
Use 'wsl.exe --list --online' to list available distributions
and 'wsl.exe --install ' to install.
Distributions can also be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store:
https://aka.ms/wslstore
Error code: Bash/Service/CreateInstance/GetDefaultDistro/WSL_E_DEFAULT_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND"
I have installed the Windows Subsystem for Linux Preview from Microsoft Store but I still could not run the "bash build/build.sh" command.
Question solved. I have solve it by following this youtube video.

Basically you have to check two boxes in the "Turn Windows features on or off" before start trying out the Linux command.
Virtual Machine Platform
Windows Subsystem for Linux
Thanks for viewing.
I have successfully installed WSL 2 and Ubuntu on my windows machine. If I start PowerShell and type bash it successfully starts bash.
However if I run PowerShell as Administrator and type bash I get the following message:
Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.
Distributions can be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store:

Worst part is that I'm pretty sure this worked yesterday(!)
I have a problem when installing a Docker Desktop 2.3.0.3
"Installation failed: one prerequisite is not fullfilled"
Docker Desktop requires Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise (15063+) or Windows 10 Home (19018+).
My Computer System Specification:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version: 10.0.10240 Build 10240
RAM: 8Gb
I have tried manually Install Hyper-V and Containers in my Computer, but still failed to install the desktop docker.. Anyone can help me? Im need your help.
You need to install Windows 10 Home 2004 build which was released on May 2020, you can use Microsoft's update assistant to manually get the update if it's not showing up for you on Windows.
Get it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
You may want to try Docker Toolbox
Docker Toolbox is an installer for quick setup and launch of a Docker
environment on older Mac and Windows systems that do not meet the
requirements of the new Docker Desktop for Mac and Docker Desktop for
Windows apps.
The actual required Windows version is greater than what it says in the installer GUI.
It might be a typo! and according to Docker this has happened before:
Docker actually requires Windows build xxxxx or greater - we're
working on the typo in the installer gui, but you'll need to update
your Windows to proceed. (Jan 8, 2018)
Just Update Windows and the problem goes away.
If you cannot update the system use choco
Install following the official Сhocolatey documentation: https://chocolatey.org/install
After installation, run the command choco install docker-desktop or follow the official installation documentation https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/docker-desktop
I've downloaded docker desktop from the website but was unable to open the installer.
My operating system is windows 7.
What are the steps required to install docker desktop on windows 7?
Docker Desktop is not supported on windows 7, you can use Docker toolbox instead.
Do following steps:
Install hyper-v
Install Docker Toolbox and try to follow link instructions
Run Docker Quickstart as admin.
After following above steps, you may not be able to run Docker Quickstart Terminal properly. If so, follow below steps:
Go to window's Start.
type: Environment
click: Edit the system environment variables
Make sure you have VBOX_INSTALL_PATH (should point to VirtualBox installation folder. i.e. C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox)
Make sure you have VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH (should point to VirtualBox installation folder. i.e. *C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox*)
Make sure you have VBOX_USER_HOME (e.g. C:\Users\Sara.VirtualBox)
Make sure you have DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH in your User variables (i.e. C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox)
Restart your computer.
Try Running Kitematic. If its not working and you are receiving an error about "default" already existing or config.json missing, do the following:
close Docker Quickstart Terminal if open.
open task manager -> processes.
End process VBoxHeadless.exe
add an empty config.json file manually in %userprofile%.docker\machine\machines\default if config.json is missing.
Run in CMD: docker-machine rm -f default
Run in CMD: docker-machine create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-memory 2048 default
If the above CMD commands failed:
delete folder %userprofile%.docker\machine\machines\default manually
restart computer
run Docker Quickstart Terminal as admin
folder %userprofile%.docker\machine\machines\default should have been created properly at this point.
open kitematic. UI should be presented properly
Problem with "default" project
Failure on "default"
As far as I know, Docker desktop require Windows 10.
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/
System Requirements
Windows 10 64-bit: Pro, Enterprise, or Education (Build 15063 or later).
You will need Win10 pro to install Docker on PC, but otherwise you can still install Docker on PC by downloading Docker Toolbox for Win7,8,10. Link to download Docker Toolbox at:
https://www.softpedia.com /get/Programming/Other-Programming-Files/Docker-Toolbox.shtml
I have Docker installed on Windows 7 platform. However when I try to run boot2docker start, the console gives me:
Failed to get machine 'boot2docker-vm': machine does not exist.
Ok, so I try to initialize the machine: boot2docker init. What now happens is even though I have the ISO image on the same path as docker, it tries to download a new image (and then fails to do so).
I uninstalled both OracleVM and GIT before installing them with boot2docker bundle as advised on Docker forums, but now I don't know how to proceed.
I had the same problem on a Windows 7 64 bit system when I installed the entire boot2docker package. It seems that running the solely 64-bit based boot2docker image from a 32-bit OS image (e.g. created by Virtualbox) does not work.
The solution for me was
to activate Intel Virtualisation Technolologies in my BIOS
(Lenovo X61 for me). Note that the settings can be found either
under CPU or Security.
choose a 64 bit OS version in VirtualBox and boot in with the
image obtained by boot2docker.
In case you're trying to do this now
For Windows 10 64-bit: Pro, Enterprise, or Education (Build 15063 or later), follow the instructions to install Docker Desktop here https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/.
If you have Windows systems that do not meet the requirements of Docker Desktop for Windows(in my case Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language), you can install Docker Toolbox by following the instructions here https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/toolbox_install_windows/.
boot2docker does not support sharing directories on Windows IIRC. The way I run Docker on windows is:
install VirtualBox
install Vagrant
create a directory (let's say c:\vm\docker)
download this Vagrantfile and save it under c:\vm\docker\Vagrantfile
open a DOS command prompt
go to the directory cd c:\vm\docker
start the VM vagrant up and wait for it to install, start up and get provisionned
connect to the VM vagrant ssh
play with docker docker images, etc
Also you might want a real console instead of using the DOS command prompt:
install Git Bash for Windows
install Console
setup Console to use Git Bash (see this guide)
use Console to run the vagrant up and vagrant ssh commands
