A feature of the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition is that you can now use a Ubuntu bash that can access your Windows file system.

Can I use this to install sage on windows without using a virtual machine or anything? That would be sweet...

I though I'd ask before trying it.

There's been some related discussion on sage-devel in July [1].

Partially deviating from the topic, but perhaps still interesting.

You can install and run the precompiled binaries with the Ubuntu bash, but you can't yet build Sage from the source code. See the answer to this question for more information:
