Support for Bash On Windows?

[Mohamed3on]

Can I use micro with Bash on Windows? If so, how do I install it?

Install via snap does not work as snapd itself does not work on WSL (see microsoft/WSL#2374)

But install from source worked for me: https://github.com/zyedidia/micro#building-from-source

Yes, you can use micro in the WSL. Just download the 64-bit Linux release (using wget or curl in the WSL prompt), extract the archive, move the micro binary to /usr/local/bin then you can start micro from any directory, as long as you are in a WSL prompt.

Note there seems to be an issue with arrow keys in bash on Windows #772.
