## Installation
> **Note** :
> If you have the official WSA installed, you must [completely uninstall](#uninstallation) it to use MagiskOnWSA.
> If you have the official Windows Subsystem For Android™ installed, you must [completely uninstall](#uninstallation) it to use MagiskOnWSA.
> In case you want to preserve your data from the previous installation (official or MagiskOnWSA), you can backup %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\userdata.vhdx before uninstallation and restore it after installation.
1. Go to the [Releases page](https://github.com/MustardChef/WSABuilds/releases/latest)
2. In the latest release, go to the Assets section and download the WSA version of your choosing (do not download "Source code")

3. Extract the zip file
4. Delete the zip file
5. Move the newly extracted folder to a suitable location (Documents folder is a good choice), as you will need to keep the folder on your PC to use MagiskOnWSA

6. Open the WSA folder: Search for and double-click `Run.bat`
6. Open the Windows Subsystem For Android™ folder: Search for and double-click `Run.bat`
- If you previously have a MagiskOnWSA installation, it will automatically uninstall the previous one while preserving all user data and install the new one, so don't worry about your data.

- If the popup windows disappear without asking administrative permission and Windows Subsystem For Android™ is not installed successfully, you should manually run Install.ps1 as administrator:

- Input cd "{X:\path\to\your\extracted\folder}" and press enter, and remember to replace {X:\path\to\your\extracted\folder} including the {}, for example cd "D:\wsa"
- Input PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Install.ps1 and press enter
- The script will run and WSA will be installed

What `Add-AppxPackage -Register .\AppxManifest.xml` does is to register an appx package with some existing unpackaged files,
so you need to keep them as long as you want to use WSA.

**Can I pass SafetyNet/Play Integrity?**

**What is virtualization?**
- Virtualization is required to run virtual machines like WSA. `Run.bat` helps you enable it. After rebooting, re-run `Run.bat` to install WSA. If it's still not working, you have to enable virtualization in your BIOS/UEFI. Instructions vary by PC vendor, look for help online
