[phenixbb] an installation issue

[Billy Poon]

Hi Dmitry,

Yes, on Ubuntu, there is a quirk where both en_GB.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8
need to be installed. The default locale for Phenix i en_US and for some
reason, en_GB is needed for that to work.

You can check the instructions here

https://github.com/phenix-project/phenix_html/blob/master/wsl_instructions.md#installing-locales

That document also has instructions for getting Coot to run in WSL.
