Answer 4

It was not possible previously but due to the addition of the powerful WSL it is possible, however, following the docs doesn't result in the complete installation as they are outdated.

Use this guide to install it in WSL - 2, ubuntu:

NOTE: The installation process is relatively simpler on Windows 11 and WSL, in win 10 you might have to change some minor settings along the process that are unique to your system. However, it is possible to install it on both Win 10 & 11, So don't give up easily.

Happy Coding!
