If you haven't set up WSL yet:

wsl --install

2. If prompted, restart your computer to complete the WSL installation. Once restarted, or if WSL is already installed, launch your Ubuntu shell by running:

wsl -d Ubuntu

3. Run the Goose installation script:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/block/goose/releases/download/stable/download_cli.sh | bash

If you encounter any issues on download, you might need to install bzip2 to extract the downloaded file:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install bzip2 -y

If you already have Goose CLI installed in WSL, you can update it:

goose update

Additional options:

# Update to latest canary (development) version
goose update --canary

# Update and reconfigure settings
goose update --reconfigure

Or you can run the installation script again within WSL:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/block/goose/releases/download/stable/download_cli.sh | CONFIGURE=false bash

To check your current Goose version within WSL, use:
