How to Install Conduit on Windows 10

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Conduit on Windows 10. Conduit is a Rust-based service mesh and has many features and capabilities that can make it a valuable addition to your project.

Prerequisites

Before we begin with installing Conduit, let's make sure we have the following installed on our system:

• Rust: Install from https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
• Cargo: Automatically installed with Rust
• Windows 10: Any version that supports WSL2

Installation Steps

1. Open a command prompt, terminal or Powershell on your Windows 10 machine.
2. Run wsl --install to enable Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2), if not already installed.
3. Open another terminal window or tab and enter the following command: wsl -d Ubuntu-20.04. This will start a new Ubuntu shell in WSL2.
4. Enter the following command to update the existing packages: sudo apt update.
5. Now install the required dependencies by running the following command: sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config libssl-dev build-essential.
6. Next, we will install the Conduit CLI by running the following command: cargo install conduit_cli.
7. Run PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.cargo/bin if Conduit CLI is not in your path.
8. Start Conduit by running the command conduit proxy start.
9. You can now access Conduit by pointing your application to http://localhost:8080.
