Prerequisites

To start using ash please make sure to install and configure the following:

  • Tools installed to run Linux containers, such as Finch, Rancher Desktop, Podman Desktop, or Docker Desktop.
  • This can be any CLI + container engine combination; there is nothing in ASH that requires a specific container runtime.
  • If on Windows, you will also likely need Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) installed as a prerequisite for the listed container engine tools. Please see the specific instructions for the tool of choice regarding Windows-specific prerequisites.
