> note: you need to have installed JoinMarket with Qt support (see [this](../README.md#joinmarket-qt) section in the readme file)
1. In Ubuntu, install additional dependencies `sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-glx`.
2. Download and install [MobaXterm](https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net). This program needs to be running before you can start JoinMarket-Qt. It requires no additional configuration.
3. Again in Ubuntu, type `DISPLAY=localhost:0.0` or add it to your `.bashrc` file so you don't need to type it every time you want to start JoinMarket-Qt.
3. Open WSL-Ubuntu session in MobaXTerm. Go to JoinMarket directory and run `source jmvenv/bin/activate` to activate Python virtualenv.
4. You can now start JoinMarket-Qt as described [here](JOINMARKET-QT-GUIDE.md).
If you find that the program crashes with `qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin`, you can add Qt5 dependencies with `sudo apt install qtbase5-dev` and try again.
