VersaVision runs in the Docker (Container) environment. This means Docker must be installed on WSL for VersaVision to operate successfully.
Docker is an open source software platform used to create, deploy and manage virtualized application containers on a common operating system (OS).
REQUIREMENTS
Log In: Installer/User must have a Windows Log In with Administrator permissions. This Account must remain active after the installation.
Access: When using a VM, Installer/User must have Remote PC Access to the Windows instance.
Internet Access: Server must have full internet access. Access can be removed after the installation is complete.
Pre-Requisites: WSL must be installed before attempting to install Docker.
NOTE: The instructions below will work for Windows Server 2022, Windows Pro 10 & Windows Pro 11.

INSTRUCTIONS
This is a carry-over from the WSL Installation.
After the Computer/Server/VM has rebooted from the WSL Installation, a pop-up WSL Window will load on the screen. The status of the Ubuntu installation will be displayed.
After the installation is complete, the Terminal will ask for a "Username" for the Linux system.
This is up to the user, we generally use versacall as the username and that is what will be shown going forward in the instructions.
After entering your username, select the Enter key on your keyboard.
The Terminal will now ask you for a "password" for the Linux user created.
This is up to the user, we generally use 6676776 and this is what will be shown going forward in the instructions.
The Password typed in will not be displayed on the screen. Enter the Password completely and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
The Terminal will ask you to "Retype" the password. Enter the Password completely and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
The Password typed in will not be displayed on the screen.
If the Password(s) was entered correctly both times, an "Installation Successful" message will display on the Terminal.
If the Password(s) did NOT match, repeat the process.
After a few moments the "Welcome to Ubuntu" message will display on the Terminal.
You will now see a user prompt with your "Username" along with the "Server Name".
Windows will assign the Ubuntu system a specific IP Address that we will need during the setup later in the instructions.
