digitalmars.D.learn - dmd error in wsl2

reply bharathyes <bharathyes.in gmail.com> writes:
I am facing an issue compiling an hello world program using dmd 
v2.096.1 running on WSL2 debian.

I wrote the basic code:

```d
void main() {
     import std.studio;
     string name ;
     write("What is your name?");
     readf("%s\n", &name);
     writeln("Hellow ", name);
}
```

This throws the following no compiling:

```
$ dmd hellow.d                                                
21:16:13
hellow.d(2): Error: module `studio` is in file 'std/studio.d' 
which cannot be read
import path[0] = /usr/include/dmd/phobos
import path[1] = /usr/include/dmd/druntime/import
```

---

What is the process to follow here? Is this an permission issue ( 
since it says cannot be read ) or do I need to add any import 
statement for this to work?

PS: Not to get off-topic but is using WSL to learn DLang a bad 
idea to begin with? I am just getting used to WSL + VS Code and 
trying to stick to it when possible. `cmd` & `powershell` is just 
a headache for me to use.

You have a typo in your code, `std.studio` instead of `std.stdio`.

Thanks. I spent more than half hour searching for this error but 
never figured to check the spelling.

I think `powershell` is a Windows thing, which caused the path 
finding trouble. Your better in a Linux shell e.g. `wsl -u root`.

Can you directly use a console from debian? e.g start by clicking 
the app with the icon of Ubuntu.

I am using debian directly ( through the Terminal Preview app or 
within VS Code ).

The recommended install script had me "activate" to use dmd and 
since that concept was out of my understanding, I re-installed 
dmd using `apt`. But it kept throwing that error and I just 
couldn't find a way to import paths. Turns out it was a typo as 
pointed above and now it just compiles and runs successfully.
