There are many ways in which you can achieve this goal:

In this post we will share the instructions to install Ubuntu via Microsoft Store.

Before we move on, make sure you PC support the Virtualization and you have enabled the virtualization in bios , if not sure, proceed further, the error messages will let you know if you need to enable the Virtualization option.

Click on Start button, search for Microsoft Store, open it, Search for Ubuntu, install the latest one.

Microsoft Store

Now it will take some time to download the needed files and install it, once done.

Give the machine name as Redis and password of your choosing

  2. Use dot net tool through command prompt to add the migration it will give you clear information
dotnet ef migrations add MigrationName -v

Now fix the issue, in my case I needed to add reference to Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design

So I installed Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools and it fixed the issue.
