Zathura in wsl
Introduction
(you can skip)
Zathura is a great pdf viewer, unfortunately it ain’t available for windows natively (yet), here is hopefully an easy way to run it under wsl using VcXsrv.
Assumptions
you downloaded and installed
VcXsrv section
There isn't much to do here just go with the defaults, VcXsrv allows us to launch graphical applications from our wsl install
wsl section
Write this in your wsl terminal
$ export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
$ vim .config/zathura/zathurarc
set sandbox none
:wq
And Finally
$ zathura yourpdf.pdf
Happy zathura-ing
