## Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Setup

For Windows 10 users running SVM tools via WSL:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install WSL">
    Install Ubuntu 18.04 or Kali Linux from the Microsoft Store
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure SSH Server">
    ```bash theme={null}
    sudo apt-get install openssh-server
    cd /etc/ssh/
    sudo /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -A
    sudo service ssh --full-restart
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update SSH Configuration">
    Edit `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` and add:

    ```bash theme={null}
    sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    ```

    Add the following line:

    ```
    ListenAddress 0.0.0.0

## Updating SVM

### Core Application Updates

Check for updates regularly:

1. Visit the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/simplevulnerabilitymanager/svm/releases) page
2. Download the latest version
3. Run the installer to upgrade

### Security Tool Updates

**Linux Script Updates**

```bash theme={null}
# Update all scripts
sudo ./update_all_scripts.bat

# Update specific tool plugins
sudo ./install_upgrade_tools_remoto.sh OpenVASPlugins
sudo ./install_upgrade_tools_remoto.sh NessusPlugins
```

**Nmap Script Database**

```bash theme={null}
sudo nmap --script-updatedb
```

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Installation script requires root privileges">
    **Error**: "You must run this setup script with root privileges."

    **Solution**: Run the script with sudo:

    ```bash theme={null}
    sudo ./install_upgrade_tools_remoto.sh [TOOL_NAME]
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="OpenVAS service not starting">
    **Solution**: Restart OpenVAS services manually:

    ```bash theme={null}
    sudo service openvas-scanner restart
    sudo service openvas-manager restart
    sudo service greenbone-security-assistant restart
    ```

    Or use the Kali shortcut:

    ```bash theme={null}
    sudo openvas-start
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Tool not detected by SVM">
    **Solution**:

    1. Verify the tool is installed correctly
    2. Check the installation path matches SVM configuration
    3. Restart SVM to refresh tool detection
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Network connectivity issues with WSL">
    **Solution**:

    * Ensure SSH server is running in WSL
    * Verify firewall rules allow connections
    * Check that ListenAddress is set to 0.0.0.0 in sshd\_config
  </Accordion>
