1:47 video on how to install it.
If you do not want to watch go to “Manage Optional Features” then + “Add a feature”. You can then scroll down the list and find the OpenSSH Client (Beta) and OpenSSH Server (Beta) features in Windows.
Do you really need a video when the installation instructions are 2 sentences?
- majewsky 9y agoEven if the installation instructions are more than 2 sentences, I absolutely hate if video is the only documentation method. It has its value as a supplement to a text description, but not without the text. (The worst offender that I've come across for this stuff is Minecraft mods. I want to know how this machine block works, not watch you chat about random stuff for 30 minutes hoping that the explanation is somewhere around minute 19!)
- johansch 9y agoMaybe YouTube should have a "kudos, this video was so good that I'll watch an extra 30-second ad just to thank you"-button. (I assume most of these videos are so unnecessarily long because it increases ad earnings for the content creators.)
- gpvos 9y agoI'm not seeing the OpenSSH client there. Is there a minimum version of Windows 10 that's needed?
- Someone1234 9y agoYou have to join Windows Insider preview program to get it today. Should be in retail when the current build is released.
- jenscow 9y agoYeh, at least provide a command-line method of installing it. If you're the type to install ssh, I'm guessing you're not a typical Windows user who is horrified by the command-prompt.
- jstarks 9y agoThis is from memory so it might be slightly wrong, but in PowerShell you can write: Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Client
- el_duderino 9y agoCorrect. Get-WindowsCapability -Online | Where-Object{$_.Name -like “OpenSSH.Client*”} | ForEach-Object{ Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name $_.Name}
