# **Installing Move CLI on Windows Using WSL**
## **Welcome to 100 Days of Move!**
In this journey, we will dive deep into the Move language—learning everything from the basics to advanced concepts. This series aims to help you understand Move, develop innovative projects, and contribute to the ecosystem.
Move is a powerful programming language designed for secure and efficient blockchain development. It emphasizes safety, expressiveness, and modularity, making it an excellent choice for building smart contracts and decentralized applications.
For Windows users, running Move CLI can be challenging, especially if you’re on a lightweight machine that struggles with running Linux in virtual environments. However, with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), you can seamlessly install and run the Move CLI directly on your Windows machine, enabling you to start writing Move code without limitations.
