WSL Installation Instructions Out of Date #2067

Under the heading Installing devkitARM on WSL1 in INSTALL.md, step 2 says this:

Once gdebi-core is done installing, download the devkitPro pacman package here. The file to download is devkitpro-pacman.amd64.deb.

None of the downloads on the listed page have a file by that name, however, and trying to download devkitpro-pacman-installer.pkg and follow the instructions but with that file's name doesn't work so the installation steps can't be completed.

So I did eventually get this working. I'd missed it at the time due to focusing on looking for a file named devkitpro-pacman.amd64.deb but the devkitPro package download does have instructions that do work for WSL, though it starts out being addressed as being for Debian-based systems which can be a bit misleading. (I believe Ubtunu is based on Debian but it's easy to think that that doesn't apply on Windows.) These are the instructions given:

For debian based systems we have a script that sets up our apt repository. Please read the script before running for your own peace of mind.
wget https://apt.devkitpro.org/install-devkitpro-pacman
chmod +x ./install-devkitpro-pacman
sudo ./install-devkitpro-pacman

The installation instructions should probably be updated with this information to make it more clear.
