Problem first use of ihp-new on Windows 10

[mlier]

Hello,

I tried to install IHP on windows 10 using the doc : https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/Guide/installation.html I installed :

• WSL
• Ubuntu 20.04
• Made : sudo update and sudo upgrade then sudo apt install git curl make xdg-utils -y
• Created : sudo mkdir -p /etc/nix
• Created : /etc/nix/nix.conf
• Installed IHP : curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

Everything ok up to here.

Then I started a project :

• ihp-new blog

That made that error :

propagated-build-inputs: /nix/store/z856a8dzgp75jaswjsh0bw77svsd9jxh-wai-cors-0.2.7/nix-support/propagated-build-inputs ghc-pkg: Couldn't open database /nix/store/31170mzlvjrhhl380kv4lj66dqpgpzxa-ghc-8.10.4-with-packages/lib/ghc-8.10.4/package.conf.d for modification: {handle: /nix/store/31170mzlvjrhhl380kv4lj66dqpgpzxa-ghc-8.10.4-with-packages/lib/ghc-8.10.4/package.conf.d/package.cache.lock}: hLock: invalid argument (Invalid argument) builder for '/nix/store/rk3331w92vvkwkdaq35360bb7yd603b6-ghc-8.10.4-with-packages.drv' failed with exit code 1 error: build of '/nix/store/rk3331w92vvkwkdaq35360bb7yd603b6-ghc-8.10.4-with-packages.drv' failed

What is the problem ? Is it a bug ? The documentation is great but the part of installation which is not at the same great level of the rest. Any help should be appreciated.

I have resolved the problem. I have installed WSL 2 on Windows 10 and it woks. I have followed the instructions in : https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/wsl/install-win10. I have done the manual installation.

[mpscholten]

Great, glad it's working now. Maybe we should suggest WSL2 inside the Getting Started guide for everyone.

Have fun with IHP now that it's finally working :)

My experience is based on the installation of IHP on 2 windows 10 (updated with the last patch). I do not know if this is a good advice for all release of windows. But yes it should be written somewhere. I started to have fun with IHP, thanks.
