## Post installation steps
These steps should be only if you clone the Algo repository to the host machine disk (C:, D:, etc.). WSL mount host system disks to `\mnt` directory.
### Allow git to change files metadata
By default git cannot change files metadata (using chmod for example) for files stored at host machine disks (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config#set-wsl-launch-settings). Allow it:
1. Start Ubuntu Terminal.
2. Edit /etc/wsl.conf (create it if it doesn't exist). Add the following:
```
[automount]
options = "metadata"
```
3. Close all Ubuntu Terminals.
4. Run powershell.
5. Run `wsl --shutdown` in powershell.
### Allow run Ansible in a world writable directory
Ansible threat host machine directories as world writable directory and do not load .cfg from it by default (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/reference_appendices/config.html#cfg-in-world-writable-dir). For fix run inside `algo` directory:
```shell
chmod 744 .
```
