+Installing RMG in the Ubuntu Subsystem on Windows 10
+*****************************************************
+
+Installing the Ubuntu Subsystem
+===================================
+
+1. Follow the instructions provided by Microsoft to install the Ubuntu subsystem, available `here
+<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10>`_. The basic steps include enabling the Windows Linux
+subsystem from a powershell **run as an administrator**, and downloading the latest LTS version of Ubuntu
+*from the Windows store*. We highly recommend Ubuntu over the other Linux distros, as Ubuntu is used by many of the
+RMG developers.
+
+2. Once the Ubuntu subsystem is installed, open an Ubuntu terminal. Open a web browser in Windows and go to the
+`Anaconda Python Platform Downloads Page <https://www.anaconda.com/download/#linux>`_. Go to the tab for the
+**Linux Installer**, and **right click** on the download icon for Python 2.7 to copy the link location. Paste this link
+into the Ubuntu terminal immediately after the ``wget`` command, so that your terminal looks like the following: ::
+
+    wget https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda2-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh
+
+Your exact link will look similar to the one above, but may be a more recent version of the installer. Execute this
+command in the terminal to begin downloading the installer.
+
+3. Once the Anaconda installer has downloaded, execute the following commands in the Ubuntu terminal, changing the name
+of ``Anaconda2-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh`` to match the name of the script you downloaded. ::
+
+    chmod 744 Anaconda2-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh
+    ./Anaconda2-2018.12-Linux-x86_64.sh
+
+Install the anaconda2 folder inside your home directory (it should be the default location when it asks for a location
+to install). **When prompted to append Anaconda to your PATH, select or type Yes**. You do NOT need to install Microsoft
+VSCode.
+
+4. Execute the following commands to make sure that all of the required packages in Ubuntu are also installed: ::
+
+    sudo apt install gcc
+    sudo apt install g++
+    sudo apt install make
+    sudo apt-get install libxrender1
+
+5. Follow the instructions for either the binary or source installation for the Linux Operating system.
