I followed instructions here on setting up a Windows Subsystem for Linux - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... tall-win10
I followed the instructions here to manually install Debian (I think it's version 9 stretch) on my windows 10 machine. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... all-manual
to initialize the distribution, I used the following command
- Code: Select all
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
I was following this tutorial on how to get rsync going on windows 10 https://thedatafrog.com/en/backup-rsync-windows-wsl/
The tutorial asks you to use the following command
- Code: Select all
sudo apt install rsync openssh-client
However, that leads to the following print statements
- Code: Select all
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package rysnc
And I've really been stuck with this. My question is essentially the same as the one in this thread, however this user had Debian version 7 and they have a lot of modifications to their sources.list file that I don't have and I don't think I quite need to make them, I'm not sure which ones to do. - viewtopic.php?f=30&t=119779
I assume I'm not the only windows 10 user that will need to use rsync, and the thread I linked just now is pretty old so I hope a solution can get posted here that can be of use for everyone. I just haven't found a solution yet.
Granted I have not restarted my computer since intializing the distribution (though none of the links I included prompted me to do so)
