# Install AlmaLinux9

Before proceeding with the installation, we need to make sure that no other WSL2 distribution (aka: _distro_) is running.
This is important because this installation will fail if required ports are already in use by another distro.

Open `Windows Terminal`.

List the available Linux distributions (aka: _distros_) by executing:
## Stop other WSL2 distros

List all installed distros:

```shell
wsl -l -v
```

If there is no other distro installed, you will see the below output (an empty list):

```text
NAME STATE VERSION
```

In this case, you can jump to the [installation](#install-almalinux9-1) section.

If you have other distros installed, the output could look similar to the below:

```text
NAME STATE VERSION
* AlmaLinux-9 Stopped 2
* AlmaLinux-10 Running 2
```

Make sure that the **STATE** column reads **Stopped** for all distros.
If any of them reads **Running**, you must stop if first by executing `wsl -t <distro-name>`, for example: `wsl -t AlmaLinux-10`.
Once you have stopped all distros, you can continue to the [installation](#install-almalinux9-1) section.
