title	Other Windows ssh/Terminal options

If your Windows version does not have ssh in Command Prompt or PowerShell:

Download the free PuTTY suite of remote access tools, which includes a nice Terminal program: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html.
- Either the Putty installer or just putty.exe (Terminal) and pscp.exe (secure copy client)

More advanced options for those who want a full Linux environment on their Windows system:

Windows Subsystem for Linux – Windows 10 Professional includes a Ubuntu-like bash shells
- See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
- We recommend the Ubuntu Linux distribution, but any Linux distribution will have an SSH client

From now on, when we refer to "Terminal", it is either the Mac/Linux Terminal program, Windows Command Prompt or PowerShell, or the PuTTY program.
