Step one is, of course: install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Without any further delay, here is what I did! I have also done another write up on getting Nmap to “work” in WSL. Note that some native Parrot tools like “anonsurf” still do not function properly due to how WSL and networking work on the machine but I will be working to resolve those in later write ups. Below is how I got there and some of the errors you may run into along the way if you attempted it yourself. After hours upon hours of errors, tinkering, and setup, I now have a fully working install with all tools of Parrot OS on WSL. I really loved Parrot OS as a Linux distro and so I knew I wanted to be running this distro with all of it’s tools when I typed “bash” in Windows. Recently I decided to take on the change of turning from Linux as my daily driver, specifically Parrot OS, and moving to Windows to take advantage of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) alongside the versatility of other tools like Powershell. SPECIAL THANKS to Thunder Son for walking through this process with me after I failed to take notes the first time so he could help me grab screenshots and troubleshoot errors for this write up. As of Jan 13, 2020, it appears that the script is currently working as intended and the links on this blog have been updated to reflect its new location. I am now working to actively maintain it to ensure it continues working. Due to Parrot no longer actively maintaining the Github repo for this install script, I have ported it to a gist on my own account.
