+## Step_1
+Navigate to ````Settings````. You can get there by clicking on the gear icon in the Start menu.

+
+## Step_2
+Navigate to the ````Control Panel```` (the old Windows control panel). You can get there by hitting ````Windows Key + X```` and selecting Control panel from the pop-up menu that appears.
+
+Select ````Programs and Features````. If it's not visible, make sure you select "Large icons" from the "View by" menu.
+
+
+Click ````Turn Windows features on or off.````
+
+Toggle ````Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta)```` to on and click Ok and reboot your computer.

+
+## Step_3
+Search for Command Prompt (cmd.exe) in the Cortana / Search box and click its icon.
+Type ````bash```` and hit ````Enter````
+Type ````y```` and hit ````Enter```` when promoted to install Ubuntu. The system will then take a few minutes to install Ubuntu in the command prompt window.
+
+## Step_4
+At this point you can follow the guide @ http://kokompe.cba.mit.edu/downloads.html
+
+    Dependencies: Ubuntu 12.04
+
+    - Python
+    - wxPython
+    - NumPy
+    - GCC and G++
+    - libpng
+    - GIFLIB
+    - Make
+    - BASH
+    - Okular
+    - Boost (headers, thread, and system library)
+    - cmake
+
+You can install all of the dependencies with the command:
+
+    sudo apt-get install python python-wxgtk2.8 python-dev python-pip gcc g++ libpng12-dev libgif-dev make bash okular libboost-thread-dev libboost-system-dev cmake    
+
+[DOWNLOAD](http://kokompe.cba.mit.edu/fab_src.zip) All Modules
+
+After downloading the source above, unzip ````fab_src.zip```` and cd to the folder it's in.
+
+Type ````make fab````, which should compile all executables and copy scripts into bin.
+
+At this point, ````make install```` will copy all executables and scripts to ````/usr/local/bin````
+
+## Step_5
+You need to install an **"X server"** to provide that graphical interface which is yet not there on a typical Ubuntu subsystem on windows 10.
+
+If you install an X server application on your Windows desktop and change a setting in the Bash shell, applications will send their graphical output to the X server application and they’ll appear on your Windows desktop.
+
+You can install [Xming](https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/) a good X server for Windows. Just accept the default settings. It will then automatically launch and run in your system tray, waiting for you to run graphical programs.
+
+----
+After installation you’ll need to set the **DISPLAY** environment variable to point at the X server already running on your system.
+
+First run the following command in the Bash environment to set the DISPLAY variable:
+
+    export DISPLAY=:0
+
+And then ***run the application:***
