Install psql on WSL

This install is pretty different from previous versions of psql install instructions for windows. This install uses the WSL and Ubuntu shell.

We are installing this through the Ubuntu command line which is different from the other Ubuntu install instructions because those instructions use Ubuntu's GUI, which we don't have access to here.

NOTE: Since this is a service that is running on Ubuntu, you should be in the the Ubuntu file system when running these commands!
