I'm using virtualenv wrapper on my mac, and I like it a lot. I'm trying to get the equivalent program to work on my windows box.
The main question I have is how to do the equivalent of
export WORKON_HOME=[BLAH BLAH]
I have some already existing venvs on a shared drive that I'd like to be able to use with this... How do I set this?
to save future seekers the extra clicks:
in normal windows command line,
setx WORKON_HOME [path to venvs]
works (but only for NEW commandlines)

I really like coding in bash, but there used to be many limitations of bash functionality in Windows. Though now there are many benefits to the bash windows users now rather than how it was pre windows 10. However, with all of the improvements, there is one thing that I feel leaves to be desired for me. The default behavior of the double-click of .sh files never really was able to do anything in windows, the .sh file extension isn't even available in the "choose default apps by file type" section of the settings. I had a desire to be able to change the default action for .sh files but neglected it and shook it off for a while, but this link finally gave me hope.
Before Ubuntu terminal and the addition of Windows subsystem for Linux, there was really no way to access bash terminal on Windows without a VM. Now with the addition of Windows Terminal which combines Microsoft Azure Terminal, Command Prompt, Powershell, and Ubuntu, it is really awesome for people like me, but despite the new awesome additions to windows allowing further integration of Linux terminal into Windows, even being able to edit the C: drive with Ubuntu.
I am sure there is a way to allow double-click of .sh files to open in windows terminal Ubuntu, but I don't know how. This question helped me on my journey to figure out how to do it and helped me make the default .bat file behavior change to Windows terminal, but I still have come to an enpass where I truly believe that it is not possible. So here is where I go when I have given up, the magical land of Stack Overflow :)
Attempts
So far I have looked into the "Choose default apps by file extension" section of settings and could not find .sh in there nor could I find it in any of the default apps sections of normal settings.
After I couldn't find anything about .sh in settings, I looked into the registry and looked for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and looked for sh or anything bash file related in HCR alone, HCR\*\shell, HCR\*\shellx, and HCR\*\Openwithlist and could not find anything.
I then tried to do ftype, but I could not find how to use ftype with .sh. I tried doing ftype .sh="C:\Users\asian\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe" -p "Ubuntu" "%1" %* but i got the error "File type '.sh' not found or no open command associated with it."
I Also tried just clicking the .sh file so it brings up the "How do you want to open this file" menu and went to Windows Terminal but it opened the bash file in powershell with the error [error 0x800700c1 when launching `C:\Users\asian\Desktop\test.sh']
These where everything I could think of and none of it was working. Help and pointers are appreciated. Thank you!
I suggest you install the Git for Windows package, as it comes with a light-weight bash environment. This is likely to be able to be in the list of available apps when right-click -> Properties on a .sh or .bash file and say Open With and click the Change button next to Open With.
Other options are Cygwin or WSL for a 95% pure Linux environment on Windows.
Seems like Kivy APIs are steered towards Linux systems more than anything. Has anyone success created a kivy atlas on windows using the command prompt?
If so, how is it done?
Full working code please.
Actually this manual works on Windows. You need to use console (press Win+R, type cmd and press Enter).
cd to your project folder and use the following command (with your image filenames and sizes, obviously). And it's dir on Windows, not ls, but otherwise it's the same.
python -m kivy.atlas myatlas 256x256 img1.png img2.png
This simplest way under Windows for me was the following...
Create a script with a string template of the Json code which constructs the atlas.
ImgSize = 512x512
AtlasT = """
{
"run.png": {
%s
}
}
"""
You would then create a loop, that will loop through all directories you specify, gathering all the images and formatting the template.
Save the atlas at the end. All mathematics are calculated by the script based on the size of the images.
If you use the linux terminal command as per the docs, you'll get an error. Just enter this into windows commmand line window - python - m, and hit enter. You'll get an error saying python is not recognized as an external or internal command or something like that.
Linux Ubuntu is far different from Windows. It seems like Linux is always aware of what you install so if you address something by name like, python, you'll get feed back. That's not the same under Windows. In order to use python on windows you really have to point to python.exe.
Don't bother using the kivy docs atlas command line in windows. Windows won't understand kivy.atlas either. It's not Linux!
Does Powershell have the capacity to generate some kind of terminal-based text editor program? I am switching to Windows because it supports a few programs I can't use otherwise; but I am having trouble discovering some sort of way to edit text files directly from Powershell. Is it possible to create a terminal-based text editor with a Powershell script; and if not is there a simple alternative?
Why don't you just install Vim, as it has a Windows version too? Add it to path and you should be all set.
I would suggest micro which is a powershell/ cmd/ terminal based text editor for Windows and other OS
https://micro-editor.github.io/
Because micro is flexible cut/copy/paste same keyboard shortcut as notepad. The best part is, it has color highlighter sensitive to programming language. Here is an image
Note: don't forget the add the micro.exe path to environment variable.
Command to open a file from cmd:
micro ./file.xyz
You use chocolately if it is installed on your powershell if you don’t have it just search for it online
Choco install nano
After this you can use nano
Then just
nano filenam
If it exists it edit it and if it doesn’t it create a new file
I would like to ask you if it's normal that my "Setting environment" changes after each system reboot or even if I just close my cmd console.
for example, I'm using python 3.5, when I wan to use python or to uses pip under the cmd I got an error like :
C:\>python
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
To fix this, I use :
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Python35
It works after, but as I said before, once I restart my computer, or I close the console, I've the same problem !!!
Thanks in advance for your help and comments. I just would like to inform you that I'm using Windows 7 - 64bits.
You need to add this path in System (Windows+Pause key), Advanced, Environment variables. There you have two sections, System and User, in System, edit the PATH key.
The next time you start a console the path will be present.
Alternaly, if you don't want to modify the setting there (or you have no rights) you could start the app with a batch file which sets the path before launching the app.
In Ruby you can adapt the environment variables from within the script itself by using ENV eg ENV['path'] += 'C:\\Python35'
, I'm sure Python can do this too but wouldn't know how. In your use case this won't help of course.
The SETX command will set the variable permanently. Use SETX /? for information. Set a persistent environment variable from cmd.exe
For Python, many developers use venv which is included with the Python install. https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html?highlight=venv#module-venv
I installed Qt through Qt-SDK 2010.01.
How to run make on Qt's terminal now?
I have set the System path:

Please help. :( :(
You should run mingw32-make instead of make.
If you want to be able to call it via make for simplicity, you might want to define an "alias" which runs mingw32-make. While I'm not very familiar with the CMD in windows, I think this should be possible with the following command:
set make=mingw32-make
However, I don't think this will be permanent. You might want to try to add a batch file make.bat in ...\mingw\bin which runs mingw32-make to achieve this. This batch file would however need to "forward" all additional arguments to mingw32-make. Maybe there are better ways to create a permanent alias, I don't know.
Maybe you also want to try the DOSKEY utility program to create a permanent alias.
