<p>Do familiarise yourself with the directory structure on the expo server, which we will be duplicating (partly) as docmented in <a href="serverconfig.html">The Expo Server</a>. We are not here doing a full install of all the software and scripts on the server, just the minimum to run, test and debug troggle on Django. These will be setup for you by <var>venv-trog.sh</var>.

<p>If you are using an old laptop, you may have to run Ubuntu in WSL1 rather than WSL2. WSL2 requires virtualisation features that your hardware may not support if it is more than about 5 years old.
<p>The standard documentation for Ubuntu or debian below all works, but you should first skim the
<a href="../computing/winlaptop.html">Windows expo laptop</a> configuration too. <em>So far as expo software</em> is concerned, WSL1 and WSL2 behave identically. <p>...Except for file permissions, which can cost you a day of frustration if you are unlucky.
