WSL installs very barebones versions of Linux so you need to download and install some packages first. Run the following:

  


  

   7
   sudo apt-get install -y gcc make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev python-openssl git libmysqlclient-dev
