*Redpanda Terraform Provider - Windows Support Notice*

The Redpanda Terraform provider is not supported on Windows systems. If you're using Windows, you must use Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) to run the Redpanda Terraform provider.

To use WSL2 with the Redpanda Terraform provider:

. If WSL2 is not already installed, install it by running the following command in PowerShell as Administrator:
+
```powershell
wsl --install
```
+
Then restart your computer.

. Open your WSL2 Linux distribution (e.g., Ubuntu) from the Start menu or by running `wsl` in PowerShell.

This is more accurately, you need to run wsl --install and restart your computer before using wsl: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

I was assuming that the user already had WSL installed. Added e2aae26 to complement the install info

. Navigate to your project directory within WSL2.
. Run all Terraform commands from within your WSL2 environment:
+
```bash
# Initialize Terraform and download the Redpanda provider
terraform init

# Plan your Redpanda infrastructure changes
terraform plan

# Apply the configuration to create Redpanda resources
terraform apply

# View created resources
terraform show
```

====

. Install at least version 1.0.0 of Terraform using the https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/install-cli[official guide^].
. Create a service account in Redpanda Cloud:
.. Log in to https://cloud.redpanda.com[Redpanda Cloud^].
