WSL has its own file system that's not accessible from Windows, but Windows files *are* accessible from WSL. So you're going to want to install pokecrystal within Windows. You'll have to change the **current working directory** every time you open WSL.
The Windows `C:\` drive is called `/mnt/c/` in WSL. You will have to change the current working directory to within `/mnt/c/` every time you open WSL. For example, if you want to store pokecrystal in **C:\Users\\*\<user>*\Desktop**, enter this command:
For example, if you want your pokecrystal in `C:\Users\<user>\Desktop`: ```bash
```
cd /mnt/c/Users/<user>/Desktop cd /mnt/c/Users/<user>/Desktop
``` ```
(Replace `<user>` with your username.) (The Windows `C:\` drive is called `/mnt/c/` in WSL. Replace *\<user>* in the example path with your username.)
You will have to run this command each time you open WSL. Then follow [the instructions for **Linux**](#linux) to build **pokecrystal**.
