How to Install Linux (WSL + Ubuntu) on Windows to Run AI in the Terminal

This video exists for one reason:
to help you take the first real step toward unlocking what AI is actually capable of.

I’m not an expert.
I’m not a coder by trade.
What I am is relentless in my effort to learn, test, and uncover tools and knowledge that can genuinely empower us to grow — financially, professionally, and personally.

In this video, I walk you through installing Linux (WSL + Ubuntu) on a Windows machine, step by step, and explain why putting AI inside the Linux terminal — and then inside an IDE like VS Code or Cursor — changes everything.

Most people experience AI through a browser tab or a desktop app.
That experience is fine… but it’s extremely limited.

Once you run AI inside the terminal, with real access to tools like:

curl (API calls)
Node.js
Python
system files
project folders
IDE workflows

…you quickly realize that most “AI apps” are just sandboxes in a wrapper.

Here is my rough guide in Google Docs https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_...

This video is not flashy.
It’s not hype.
It’s a real, practical explainer meant to demystify something that looks intimidating at first — especially if you’ve always thought “IDEs and terminals are for coders, not people like me.”

I used to think that too.

With a little guidance and a bit of patience, this opens up fast — and when it does, it becomes incredibly powerful and inspiring.

What you’ll see in this video:
How to install WSL + Ubuntu on Windows
Why Linux matters for serious AI use
Installing core tools (curl, Node.js, Python)
Authenticating Claude directly in the terminal
Connecting AI to an IDE (VS Code)
A simple demo showing AI creating files and interacting with the web

This is not about perfection.
It’s about momentum.

This is my best effort right now, shared openly, because I believe access to this knowledge can change what’s possible for regular people — not just developers or big companies.

If you’re willing to learn, experiment, and build imperfectly, this is the beginning of a very powerful path.

This video is step one.

If you have questions, ask them.
If something feels overwhelming, slow it down.
And if this helps you even a little — stick around. There’s much more coming.

Let’s get to work.
