How to install Warp in WSL

Intro

Hello everyone, I hope you all are pink of health. Today, I am writing this Blog on "How to install Warp in WSL" and being a Windows user, how can we enhance our experience using the wonderful terminal Warp.
Also, at the end of the video I will share with you one Bonus tip that will help you increase your typing speed in the warp Terminal.

Installation

1. Visit the warp website using my referral link -> https://app.warp.dev/referral/X9K3EV (Here is the original link if you don't want to use the referral link: https://app.warp.dev/get_warp). Install the Debian package. We will "dpkg" it.

2. Open the WSL in Windows. Go to the path where you've installed the Deb Package. Let's say "Desktop".

   • Run sudo dpkg -i <the_debian_package>

   • I had to install these dependencies of warp in my case.

     • libegl1 libxkbcommon-x11-0. So if you also face this issue, use this command,

       • sudo apt-get --fix-broken install -y

       • sudo apt install libegl1 libxkbcommon-x11-0

   • In my case, sudo dpkg -i warp-terminal_0.2024.05.14.08.01.stable.04_amd64.deb

3. Now, open the bash_profile file to add the following lines. Using command,

   nano ~/.bash_profile paste the following and Ctrl+X and then Y.

    export WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
    export MESA_D3D12_DEFAULT_ADAPTER_NAME=NVIDIA
    export BROWSER=google-chrome
   

   The changes will be saved. Here we're adding Google Chrome because we need to open Google Chrome from Warp to get the Authentication Token.

4. Now, let us install Google-Chrome-Stable in WSL

    wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
    sudo apt -y install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
   

   

5. Now, Sign Up (Sign Up Link: https://app.warp.dev/signup) and log in (Link to Log In: https://app.warp.dev/login/remote).

6. Follow the fifth step in the WSL's Google Chrome, which we just installed. Once you successfully log in. You'll land on this kind of screen

   

   Enjoy Using Warp....

   

Bonus. Improve your Typing Speed in Warp

I just watched the YouTube Short posted by Hitesh Sir Choudhary on his YouTube channel. Where he introduced ttyper.

To install it, we need "cargo". To install "cargo" run the command, sudo apt install cargo

Followed by it, install "ttyper" using the command cargo install ttyper

Now, just write "ttyper" and start practicing

And Enjoy...

That's all for now Everyone. Happy Coding.
