installing MongoDB on ubuntu wsl2 systemd issue systemd as init system (PID 1)

Question

installing MongoDB on ubuntu wsl2

I tried to install MongoDB on WSL( ubuntu 20), after using this link but there is something wrong! I don't know what the heck is: systemd :"System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1)" and how should I resolve that... I'm totally beginner in Linux experience. I've searched for this problem and apparently, people using DOCKTER in wsl had such a problem but I can't figure out how should I do in my case. thanks

The whole error:

Setting up mongodb-org-server (4.4.4) ...
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Cant operate.
Failed to connect to bus: Host is down
dpkg: error processing package mongodb-org-server (--configure):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mongodb-org:

  Package mongodb-org-server is not configured yet.
    
dpkg: error processing package mongodb-org (--configure):

Setting up mongodb-org-tools (4.4.4) ...
  No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.

Processing triggers for man-db (2.9.1-1) ...

  mongodb-org

AFAIK, wsl does not need systemd. I tried to install mongodb in wsl on my own, but I couldn't and I found that for some reasons it was not possible. Alternatively, I installed the mongodb server in windows and used it in wsl container. — user12688644

After lots of searches and trial and error, I found the only thing it apparently needs to do is: right after the MongoDB installation ("In this Lik"), we should set "systemctl" to enable! And then it needs to reboot your system.

sudo systemctl enable MongoDB

Why is the answer selected? WSL/WSL2 does not come with systemd. Therefore running systemctl will just generate an error: System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1).
