WSL (deprecated)

WSL Support

If you are unable to use the Windows build, WSL supports running Linux GUI apps on Windows starting with Windows 10 Insiders build 21362 or later. See the announcement here:

The Initial Preview of GUI app support is now available for the Windows Subsystem for Linux | Windows Command Line (opens in a new tab)

Setting up your WSL environment

For detailed instruction on setting up your WSL environment, follow steps outlined in:

microsoft/wslg (opens in a new tab)

For this setup, the process is documented using the Ubuntu 20.04 distro (opens in a new tab). Steps would be similar for other distros. We recommend installing your choice of browser and file manager. The link above provides steps for Edge and Nautilus.

Setting up Replay

Once the environment is set up, Replay can be installed using a list of commands from the Ubuntu command line.

1. Download the Linux package of Replay.

sudo curl [https://replay.io/downloads/linux-replay.tar.bz2](https://replay.io/downloads/linux-replay.tar.bz2) -L -o /opt/linux-replay.tar.bz2

2. Extract the package.

cd /opt/
sudo tar -xvf linux-replay.tar.bz2
sudo rm -rf linux-replay.tar.bz2

3. Run the browser.

cd replay
sudo ./replay

The application should start 🎉

Troubleshooting

There has been a blog post (opens in a new tab) written (14 July 2021) on setting up the basic install. This might be a starting place if you have a problem with your installation.

If your installation returns errors with any shared dependencies, please install them from https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/ (opens in a new tab).

For example, to resolve the following error, install the package using this link (opens in a new tab).

libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

You can also install the package via the command line like in the example below.

sudo apt-get install libdbus-glib-1-2
