You should then see your WSL2 linux distribution listed (if you don't then it is probably because it is still a WSL1 distribution and needs to be converted to WSL2) and you can then toggle the switch to enable integration for that distro.

## **Notes** -- The `cURL` command that comes with Git and Docker Toolbox is old and does not handle properly the redirect used in [Getting Started](https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html). Please make sure you use a newer version from the [cURL downloads page](https://curl.haxx.se/download.html) - These prerequisites are recommended for Fabric users. If you are a Fabric developer, please refer to the instructions for [Setting up the development environment](https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev-setup/devenv.html).
