Using WSL for Solana development

Why? Solana tooling for Windows does not allow for BPF builds.

How?

• Run WSL on Windows
• If you are behind a company firewall:
• make sure you have a .pem file of your root certificate. Talk your sysadmin for that. If you have a .cer file - make sure you convert it to .pem
• Make sure you have an environment variable SSL_CERT_FILE to point at your .pem certificate (use "export SSL_CERT_FILE=" for that from inside your wsl command shell) or event better - add it to your ~/bashrc file
• sudo apt install build-essential
• curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
• sudo apt install pkg-config
• sudo apt install libudev-dev
• sudo apt install llvm-dev
• sudo apt install clang
