to having J fully running is that I used Windows to copy the J

are that Linux does not see the new files and folders until I reboot
Windows and the default permissions for the copied items are all "000"
so J
starts to start but breaks like this:

You mean WSL?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
On an Ubuntu WSL 1.0 setup, this works fine to install J:
wget
http://www.jsoftware.com/download/j902/install/j902_linux64.tar.gz
tar xvf j902_linux64.tar.gz
cd j902
./updateje.sh
jqt should also be possible but X is a little bit annoying
(or was with WSL 1.0; I don't know how 2.0 is doing).
jhs works fine except that you have to browse to the URL
manually. You can do this with a Windows browser, talking
to jhs in the Linux environment. You'll just need to click
'allow' when prompted by the Windows firewall.
