Unable to install in Windows WSL2

I’m trying to install zerotier in WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) however I’m getting the following error:

***** Enabling and starting zerotier-one service…**
Synchronizing state of zerotier-one.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable zerotier-one
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can’t operate.

I’m not sure how to resolve this issue.

WSL/WSL2 are not supported. They don’t operate under an init system (sysv/systemd) so background daemons can’t be started the usual Linux way. However, if you install ZeroTier on Windows, the networks joined on Windows will still be accessible under WSL/WSL2
