How to install and run OpenDevin on Windows 11:

1. Install Windows Subsystem for Linux.

2. Install Docker Desktop.

3. Create a folder named "OpenDevin" (or a name of your choosing) and inside that folder create a folder named "workspace".

4. Inside the "OpenDevin" folder you just created, create a bash script with Unix-style line termination (LF) (do not use Microsoft Notepad...) and name it something like "run_opendevin.sh". The content of the bash script should be as follows:

   #!/usr/bin/env sh
   # Define variables
   WORKSPACE_BASE=$(pwd)/workspace;
   SANDBOX_USER_ID=$(id -u)
   PERSIST_SANDBOX="true"
   SSH_PASSWORD="sshpassword"
   IMAGE_NAME="ghcr.io/opendevin/opendevin:0.5"
   CONTAINER_PORT=3000
   HOST_PORT=3000 
   # Run the Docker container
   docker run -it \
       --pull=missing \
       -e SANDBOX_USER_ID=$SANDBOX_USER_ID \
       -e PERSIST_SANDBOX=$PERSIST_SANDBOX \
       -e SSH_PASSWORD=$SSH_PASSWORD \
       -e WORKSPACE_MOUNT_PATH=$WORKSPACE_BASE \
       -v $WORKSPACE_BASE:/opt/workspace_base \
       -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
       -p $HOST_PORT:$CONTAINER_PORT \
       --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
       $IMAGE_NAME

5. To check the Linux distributions installed in WSL, use the following command in a Windows Terminal. If you haven't installed any other distributions, you should see only *docker-desktop listed. The asterisk means it's the default distribution invoked by the wsl command if no -d distro-name is given.

   wsl -l -v

6. Install Debian with the following command in a Windows Terminal:

   wsl --install -d Debian

7. Make Debian the default distribution launched by the wsl command with the following:

   wsl -s Debian

8. Open Docker Desktop and click on the gear icon in the top right corner. Under Resources -> WSL integration, look for "Enable integration with additional distros:". Enable Debian by clicking on the button.

9. Now run the bash script created earlier. Assuming the script is named "run_opendevin.sh", type the following command in a Windows Terminal:

   wsl -e ./run_opendevin.sh

10. At this point, since it's the first time the script is run, the Docker image will be downloaded. Each subsequent invocation of the script will run the locally downloaded image.

11. Once the Docker image is running, the OpenDevin GUI can be accessed by pointing your web browser to: http://localhost:3000.
