TensorFlow-Object-Detection-API-Tutorial-Train-Multiple-Objects-Windows-10 Issue compiling protobuf and installing the object detection package

trafficstars

I am following the steps and am stuck confirming that tensor flow has been successfully installed (Step 2g). When I run the jupyter notebook, I am encountering errors in the "Compile protobufs and install the object_detection package" stage. I have installed Ubuntu for Windows and am able to enter bash shell from a cmd window.

When I step over it, I get errors:

Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.
Distributions can be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store:

Any ideas on how to get out of this?
