I have a Windows PC with WSL 2 installed. The challenge requires Docker, Distrobox, Pixi. Do I have to install all 3 tools, or just pick 1? Since all 3 tools support Windows, can I install them on Windows OS and develop my solutions on Windows? If not, how about WSL? Or this is Linux OS only?

I personally dual boot linux(Ubuntu) and windows, and I no longer have problems with the tools
(I understand this don’t answer your question 😅 )

@J_Zhang , you will need all 3 tools:
1. Docker - Acts as container manager for Distrobox
2. Distrobox - Environment for the evaluation component
3. Pixi - Manage packages for policy development
Our [recommended workflow](https://github.com/intrinsic-dev/aic/blob/main/docs/getting_started.md) is tested on Ubuntu 24.04. You can try running it on Windows.
