# Enable Systemd Support in WSL2 (Obsolete) Since, WSL2 Ubuntu is a trimmed down version of Ubuntu, it doesn't come with systemd support. However, we can make it work using systemd hack. ***NOTE:*** WSL 2 Only **Usage** Run this script in WSL2 (Ubuntu): ```bash git clone https://github.com/DamionGans/ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script.git cd ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script/ bash ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script.sh ``` Then run (in Windows): ```shell wsl --shutdown ``` Run WSL again and test systemd by running: ```bash ps 1 ``` You should see something like this: ```bash jungle@DESKTOP-B73I3A0:~$ ps 1 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1 ? Ss 0:02 /lib/systemd/systemd --system-unit=basic.target ``` Enjoy systemd hack on WSL2! ***Source: ***~~***GitHub***~~ --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
