### Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
WSL does not currently provide native support for USB devices. However, Windows
binaries installed on the host can be run from inside a WSL environment. This
means that you can encrypt or decrypt files inside a WSL environment with a
YubiKey:
1. Install `age-plugin-yubikey` on the Windows host.
2. Install an age client inside the WSL environment.
3. Ensure that `age-plugin-yubikey.exe` is available in the WSL environment's
`PATH`. For default WSL setups, the Windows host's `PATH` is automatically
added to the WSL environment's `PATH` (see
[this Microsoft blog post](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/share-environment-vars-between-wsl-and-windows/)
for more details).
