This may become an issue if you are running versions of WSL that are not installed using the Windows store. I was able to to get the terminal running with no issues, but need the debugging features available in WebStorm.

Please note: This is for break debugging capabilities using WebStorm and not just terminal use. As already discussed, PHPStorm and WebStorm are two different IDEs ( Integrated Development Environments) for programming languages such as PHP and Javascript.

How can I get WebStorm to detect my Linux distributions? WSL ( WSL 2) - Windows Subsystem for Linux - is a compatibility layer for running Linux binary executables natively on Windows 10.

Relation to its detection of WSL distribution detection? sudo apt install curl Once the Curl app is up and running, use the following curl command to set up the PPA’s key on your system. It is required to set up the PPA, but it does not come pre-installed on Ubuntu.

Is there a configuration setting I'm missing for WebStorm in To start the installation of Webstorm via the unofficial PPA, you must install the Curl application.

I followed the directions listed on the websites below, but my WebStorm installation refuses to detect the Linux distributions I have installed on my system, and I've already set a default distro using wslconfig.exe.Īdditionally, I don't seem to have a way to tell WebStorm manually that I have Linux distributions installed on my system. I am trying to debug nodejs code using the debugging features available in WebStorm on an Ubuntu or Debian Linux distribution installed on Windows Subsystem for Linux.
