A step-by-step guide for installing the NXP MCUXpresso Installer inside a Docker DevContainer on Ubuntu. Covers the Dockerfile setup, downloading and installing the .deb.bin package as the vscode user, installing required GUI libraries for running the graphical interface in WSL, and using the CLI version with a dbus workaround. The goal is to replicate the native developer experience inside a containerized environment, even though WSL is not officially supported by NXP for this tool.
