WSL2 Help and information (Donate Version) - SuperR Kitchen

With the release of v3.2.1.0, there are many improvements to the Linux version of the kitchen compared to the native Windows version. WSL2 on Windows 10 is the perfect way to run the Linux kitchen on Windows. Installation takes a few more steps, but it will be worth it.
Below you will find a basic guide to get the kitchen running on WSL2. This guide will work with Ubuntu/Debian variants. Other variants will need to adjust the dependencies command for your chosen distro. I will update this post as needed.
Requirements: Donate kitchen, 64-bit Windows 10 (version 1903 or higher).
STEP 1:
Install WSL2 on Windows 10.
How to Install WSL 2 on Windows 10 (Updated) - OMG! Ubuntu
If you want to try out the improved Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (aka WSL 2) in the latest Windows versions here's how — I cover everything you need to
www.omgubuntu.co.uk
or the official Microsoft documentation
Install WSL
Install Windows Subsystem for Linux with the command, wsl --install. Use a Bash terminal on your Windows machine run by your preferred Linux distribution - Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Kali, Fedora, Pengwin, Alpine, and more are available.
docs.microsoft.com
STEP 1 B (Optional):
Now that WSL is installed, you can move it to a different drive if you want. Some people might want WSL on the Windows D:\ drive for example. Here is how:
Close your WSL terminal.
Open cmd.exe, powershell, or Windows terminal
Code:
wsl.exe -l -v
NAME STATE VERSION
* Ubuntu Running 2
The first command will show you the distro name you need to use in the following commands. "Ubuntu" in this example, but yours may be named differently.
Code:
wsl.exe --export Ubuntu C:\WSL_backup.tar
wsl.exe --unregister Ubuntu
wsl.exe --import Ubuntu D:\wsl C:\WSL_backup.tar
STEP 2:
Open WSL2 terminal and install dependencies
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unzip default-jre
Do not close the WSL2 terminal. Leave it open until the end of the guide
STEP 3:
Download the kitchen into your WSL2 home directory.
First we need to create a "kitchen" directory and find the path to it from Windows so you know where to save the kitchen zip.
In the WSL2 terminal, do the following:
Code:
mkdir -p kitchen
cd kitchen
explorer.exe .
IMPORTANT! Do not forget the dot (.) at the end of the last command.
At this point, Windows explorer should have opened to the new "kitchen" directory you created in the terminal. Take note of this location. This is where we want to download and install the kitchen.
Time to head over to the kitchen downloads page and grab the latest Linux version zip. Save to the "kitchen" directory we found earlier.
STEP 4:
Extract the kitchen.
Back in WSL2 terminal, run the following (replace v3.2.1.0 with the version you are installing)
Code:
unzip SuperRs-Kitchen_Linux-64_v3.2.1.0.zip
IMPORTANT! Do not extract the kitchen using windows tools or you will have issues.
STEP 5:
Run the kitchen.
Code:
./superr
RUNNING THE KITCHEN LATER:
Run the kitchen after closing WSL2.
Open WSL2 terminal and run the following:
Code:
/path/to/kitchen/superr

As mentioned in the thread title, this guide is for the donate kitchen. The free kitchen does not work in WSL.
edit: I added donate kitchen to the requirements in the OP to make this more clear.
edit2: I added text to free kitchen OP stating it will not work in WSL.

As stated in the screenshot you sent, you are running the kitchen as root and you should not be. Your terminal is actually running as root so anything you do there is done as root. Run WSL2 terminal as a normal user and then run the kitchen.

That is odd. Maybe try apt instead of apt-get:
Code:
sudo apt install default-jre
Otherwise, maybe try Ubuntu 18.04 instead. I have not tested 20.04.

That didn't work either. I'll try 18.04

sudo apt install default-jre didn't work. I installed 18.04 but got same error. apt-get update worked. Now I get a permission error when running the kitchen. I have v3.2.1.1 installed.
Edit: tried v3.2.1.0 also. Same result.

How did you unpack the kitchen zip? Did you follow the instruction in step 4 above? It sounds like you used a Windows tool to unpack the zip, and this will cause permission issues.
edit: According to my server log, it appears you are running WSL1, not WSL2.
edit2: you should remove the space from your project name. The kitchen does not allow this so you must have created the project directory manually. I am not sure if this will cause problems, but it certainly could.

I used ubunto to unzip as per instructions, installed WSL2 and tried step 3 to set WSL2 as default. tried step 5 to change from WSL1 to WSL2 and it indicated "no such distribution". I also tried removing the space to no avail. I've probably hosed everything at this point...

According to Microsoft official WSL2 documentation, you need to meet these Windows requirements:
For x64 systems: Version 1903 or higher, with Build 18362 or higher.
For ARM64 systems: Version 2004 or higher, with Build 19041 or higher.
Builds lower than 18362 do not support WSL 2.
Does your system meet these requiements?

Version 1909
build 18363-1198
Edit: If I have ubuntu 18.04 installed, what do I put here?
wsl.exe --set-version Ubuntu 2

In that case, it seems like a problem with Windows or WSL2. Surely there are other people in the world that are having trouble upgrading to WSL2. Maybe a google search on the topic would help.
