I have experienced in using WSL. To install OpenMC using Ubuntu 22.04, follow the steps to install OpenMC on Linux as mentioned on [Quick Install Guide — OpenMC Documentation](https://docs.openmc.org/en/stable/quickinstall.html). But as you need to have conda preinstalled, you can refer [How To Install the Anaconda Python Distribution on Ubuntu 22.04 | DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-anaconda-python-distribution-on-ubuntu-22-04). Perform this steps on the Ubuntu Terminal.

Hope this would help.
