text: user4211: I am trying to install bedtools on windows 10, but I get an error I don't understand. How can I fix it?
  Building BEDTools:
  =========================================================
  DETECTED_VERSION = v2.27.1
  CURRENT_VERSION  =
  Updating version file.
   * Creating BamTools API
  - Building in src/utils/FileRecordTools
    * compiling FileRecordMgr.cpp
  make[1]: g++: Command not found
  Makefile:36: recipe for target '../../../obj//FileRecordMgr.o' failed
  make[1]: *** [../../../obj//FileRecordMgr.o] Error 127
  Makefile:186: recipe for target 'src/utils/FileRecordTools' failed
  make: *** [src/utils/FileRecordTools] Error 2
  
  
  user964: 
  make1: g++: Command not found
  
  You do not have g++ installed on your machine.  This is used to compile the bedtools into an executable file.  
  Here is a tutorial on installing g++ 
  
  user235: My personal advice would be to avoid compiling tools like this if you can avoid it, especially where you are using a "barebones" setup like the one you get with WSL Ubunutu as you'll almost always run into dependency issues. 
  The linux version of conda installs just fine in WSL and bioconda hae pretty much any bioinformatics package you might need, already compiled.
