Installing packages in Julia while using Pluto - installation

I would like to use the package HDF5
In my Pluto.jl, I have the line
using HDF5
When I try to evaluate this cell, I get the error message
"ERROR: LoadError: HDF5 is not properly installed. Please run Pkg.build("HDF5") and restart Julia."
I would like to do this, but when I go to the terminal, I can't do this while I have Pluto open.
I've tried running Pluto in the background with a command like
Pluto.run() &
But this code is completely wrong.
I've also heard that there sometimes appears a cloud icon above the cell, which would allow me to download HDF5 directly.
In any case, it seems to me like any time this happens, I will have to write down which package I need to install, and then kill my Pluto notebook, go to Julia, install, and restart Julia. Surely there is a better way? Can anyone help me find it?

When the package is correctly installed or could be installed without problems, using HDF5 in Pluto itself is sufficient. The built-in Pluto package manager takes care about the installation.
There are edge cases where due to issues with external packages installation does not work out-of-the-box. In this case, it could help to install the package in a temp environment before starting Pluto:
] activate --temp
] add HDF5
follwed by whatever steps required to get the package working in Julia itself, like re-building it.
This should really be a workaround and should be fixed in the corresponding package - consider creating an Issue there if it does not exist already.

Installing Julia packages using a .toml file?

I am totally new to Julia!
I would like to install a large number of packages for a project I'm joining.
The project comes with a "Project.toml" file
It seems like there should be a nice way to install all the packages I need for the project, perhaps using the Project.toml file
However, I have not yet found any site that indicates how I might be able to do this.
Could anyone please let me know if what I am doing is possible, and if so, point me to a reference that would show how?
If your Project.toml is located in a folder, like myproject/Project.toml, you can simply start Julia with julia --project=/path/to/myproject, and it will automatically detect the Project.toml file in myproject.
The first time you activate this project, in the REPL, you can switch to Pkg mode by typing ], and type the command instantiate. This will cause the package manager to download and install all of the packages listed in Project.toml and their dependencies.
Another way to switch between projects during interactive use is to run activate /path/to/myproject in Pkg-mode in the REPL.
How to install julia packages from a Project.toml
First, you will have navigate to the folder containing your Project.toml.
cd ../your-folder-containing-the-project.toml-file
in your terminal:
julia --project=.
]
instantiate
or
julia --project=. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()
The other answers went already to the point, but I want to add another important aspect.
If this project comes "only" with a Project.toml file, you will be able to install "sone version" of these packages, eventualy the Project.toml may also give you a range of versions known to work with the project you have been given.
But if this project comes also with a Manifest.toml file you will be able to recreate on your pc the exact environment, will all the exact versions of all dependent packages recursivelly, of the guy that passed you the project, using the ways desctibed in detail in the other answers (e.g. ] activate [folder]; instantiate).

How to solve "VisibleDeprecationWarning: zmq.eventloop.minitornado is deprecated"?

When I use iPython to run some scripts, I've got the following warning message in iTerm:
/Users/###/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ipykernel/displayhook.py:12:
VisibleDeprecationWarning: zmq.eventloop.minitornado is deprecated in pyzmq 14.0 and will be removed.
Install tornado itself to use zmq with the tornado IOLoop.
When I try to run my code in Visual Studio Code, I've got the following error message:
Error message in VSCode
I have already tried to update Anaconda, I have already tried to install nomkl with conda as well, without any success.
iTerm and VisualStudio on Mac OS 10.14.6, Anaconda up to date (4.7.12)
Remedy Option A)
Use anaconda-tools to separate an environment, say aLastWorkingENV, where you make use of anaconda-tooling to roll-back all components to a last working state, which does not whine about future deprecations. In such aLastWorkingENV environment, all thus synchronised programs will work smooth (as they did before a first component update, that has moved the stick)
Remedy Option B)
Use anaconda-tools to update all current components and all their supporting modules and all packages versions [ python, ipython, pyzmq, jupyter, ..., ] to their most recent versions, where products QA coverage ought either confirm the PASS, or provide a remedy or workaround or the last-trouble-free version ( to eventually downgrade one such package, based on such exception, if present and relevant )
Either way, your code would stop throwing the soft-warnings and remain in such state, until any un-coordinated package update takes place.

Issues installing a go program

Im new to go and I have been unable to find any thing online for my issue.
I have downloaded this code https://github.com/hashicorp/http-echo and I would like to set it up so I can run this command.
$ http-echo -listen=:8080 -text="hello world"
I have been getting quite a few different path issues.
Currently I have the code sitting in this directory.
/Users/jon/go/src/github.com/hashicorp
When I try and install it I get this error
$ go install http-echo
can't load package: /usr/local/go/src/http-echo/handlers.go:9:2: non-standard import "github.com/hashicorp/http-echo/version" in standard package "http-echo"
Where should I keep go projects on an OSX computer, and how do I get this to install or compile?
The code currently seems to be in /usr/local/go/src/http-echo. Packages should always reside in the directory $GOPATH/src/package-name, e.g.: $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/http-echo. (unless you're using go modules).
It should work if you move the source to the correct path (/Users/jon/go/src/github.com/hashicorp/http-echo). Then execute:
go install github.com/hashicorp/http-echo
Even easier would be to use go get to download the package in the first place. Simply run the following command from any directory:
go get github.com/hashicorp/http-echo
And http-echo is automagically installed.
If you still get an error after this, make sure $GOPATH/bin is in your $PATH.

jython 2.7 package installation

Jython Package installation issue, using pip
Hi, I have installed Jython2.7 configured with pydev in eclipse neon, also configured python 3.6 package
I am able to install packages for python using pip installer?
pip install "packagename"
Below are some of the packages in python/Lib/Site-packages directory
I was able to install all the packages
How do I use pip installer to install packages for jython?
I tried to install Jip package with
jython install setup.py
The binary File got installed in the Jython/Lib/Site-packages folder
However, I am not able to use it.
where and how do I get Jython package binaries like jip?
Also, Please let me know how to search jython packages?
Also, How to make pip install library packages in jython?
Any other configuration like jython home, etc that should be made?
This answer is going to be really generic but I just recently have slogged my way through the setup for jython/jip/pip and here's roughly what I had to do.
Firstly, I'm running Windows 7 64 Bit from behind a proxy (work machine.)
Had to install jython 2.7.0 instead of 2.7.1 because (I think anyway) 2.7.1 requires admin privileges which I don't have on my work PC.
Pip didn't install correctly during the Jython installation and I spent an obscene amount of time trying to get it installed and functioning as I knew it from my cpython days. NOTE: Just because you get pip installed, doesn't mean you can use any package on a python package repo. As of 2.7.0, Jython doesn't have end to end capability to interpret/compile some libraries that rely on certain python wrappers of native OS function calls. I believe 2.7.1 makes solid progress in the direction of supporting all needed native calls but don't quote me on that. For example, I tried to use wxPython to make a simple GUI to test my jython install. Trying to install it from pip kept causing really non-specific error info that took me a lot of time to figure out that the cause was jython simply couldn't compile the wxPython source so beware.
I had to set environment variables 'http_proxy' and 'https_proxy' in the form of http://proxyhosturl:port and https://proxyhosturl:port respectively to get out from behind the proxies without having to invoke pip with the proxy switch every time I called it.
To actually install pip, have a look here. These instructions are for Python and Linux/Unix but the principle is roughly the same. Just use jython -m instead of python -m and ignore the '$' at the start of each command line.
Also be sure to CD to your python_home/bin folder when invoking the ez_install exe.
If that doesn't work (didn't for me), try using get-pip.py script with these instructions https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ (remember jython instead of python etc.). Download it, cd to the download location and follow the noted install steps. Worth noting is about half way down the install instructions where it details installing from local archives (source/binary zip or tar.gz archives of pip and setuptools as better described here: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#installing-from-local-archives).
The links to the bin archives of pip and setuptools are here:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip
It may also be worth making sure that your PATH environment variable has the jython/bin path in the variable value. The jython installer should do this but, again, mine did not.
If all goes well, you should be able to invoke pip with the --version switch and if it prints a line with the installed pip version info then you should be good to go
Another quirky issue I had was I could invoke a function of pip one time and any subsequent times I would get a stack trace ending with something along the lines of an object not having a certain property. I fixed that by finding my temp directory by opening a windows explorer instance and typing %TEMP% in the address bar and hitting enter, it should take you to a subdir of your AppData folder and there you may see a folder with the name of the package you were trying to install and the text "_pip" somewhere in the directory name. Delete the directory and try the pip install command again. I had to do this + invoke pip install pip -U to update my install to the latest version. Then pip began behaving correctly in my instance.
pip search numpy (or your library name) will generate a list of results with the same logic it uses to locate your desired package when you call pip install but, again, just because it returns a matching package doesn't mean it will compile when you install it (numpy doesn't work because of the missing java to C native function calls I described earlier.) The trade off is that you can import code artifacts from Java JAR files in your Jython script files and leverage their functionality with relative ease. Between the public Java APIs available and the python packages that work with the jython interpretor, you can (in my experience) come up with a way to accomplish your task. See the following info on JIP, Maven and IDEs.
IDE and jython integration (Eclipse)
- If you are stuck using Eclipse (like me) it actually has pretty decent support for python development. Install the PyDev plugin for Eclipse from Help -> Install Software. Put in this URL https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/pydev-python-ide-eclipse, hit tab, and select the PyDev plugin and hit 'finish.'
- Setup the jython interpretor info from Windows -> Preferences -> PyDev. Provide the path to your jython.jar file.
- You should now be able to use File -> New PyDev project to create a basic python project and configure it to use your version of Jython and Java.
Brief Overview of Jip and Maven
- jip is a jython package that is invoked very similarly to pip but instead will download JAR files from the Maven Central Repository instead of python packages from pypi.com, for example. See the install instructions described here. Note the install procedure for a global jip install which differ from just pip install jip. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jip/
- I never got jip to work exactly as I wished because there's not a ton of documentation on it outside of what I already linked. However, if you install a JAR using jip, you have to go to your project in Eclipse and actually add the JARs themselves to your PYTHONPATH in order for import statements and editing to have intellisense and so that you don't get a classnotfound exception at runtime. See following screen shot.
- There is a JIP config file that you can use similar to the pip config ini file but I have yet to find any exhaustive documentation on it's setup.
Note in the above screen shot the first entry in the External libraries entries. By default, pip places installed packages in that directory so to enable eclipse to find them, you need to also ensure that location is entered.
In Conclusion
- I have more to add to this answer and I will do so as soon as possible. In the meantime, see this example project I've loaded into github.
https://github.com/jheidlage1222/jython_java_integration_example
It shows basic config and how to interface with JARs from python code. I used the apache httpcomponents library as an example. Good luck amigo.

Including date and time in Tex File

The latex file is giving the following error:
! LaTeX Error: File `datetime.sty' not found.
Here is the Latex code: \usepackage{datetime}
Am I missing something?
I am using Debian 3.1 Linux Machine.
I don't use Debian myself, but if I look it up, Debian contains it in the package 'texlive-latex-extra'. If you installed LaTeX via the packet-manager of debian (I think so) the command 'apt-get install texlive-latex-extra' executed as root should install you the needed file. Alternatively you can use a graphical package-manager to install the package.
If your LaTeX Distribution does not load the package automatically, you can try to install it manually according to the readme file here: http://www.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/datetime/ Edit: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/datetime
Yes, you are missing the datetime.sty file; you are probably missing the whole package too. What system are you using for managing your (La)TeX installation ? If you tell us you may get more specific advice than I can give.
You need to get the datetime package from CTAN or one of its mirrors and install it into your local texmf tree. Your LaTeX manager will do this for you. You may also be able to configure your LaTeX manager to automatically download and install packages the first time they are requested.
