Using AWS CLI with MobaXterm on Windows - bash

I am a newbie to both AWS and MobaXterm. I am trying to use MobaXterm to manage AWS instances because it comes with bash.
I am following the commands as per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2-linux.html.
When I run the following command $ sudo ./aws/install, I get the following error:
Unable to start 'install': There is no application associated with the
given file name extension.
I did run chmod 777 to ensure that I am able to read/write/execute. Please see attached image.
I do know that I can use Windows CLI installer in command line. However, doing SSH to EC2 is a nightmare in Windows with all certificates. With MobaXterm (because of bash), it is very easy. So, my preference is to use MobaXterm instead of Windows command prompt.
Moreover, I don't want to directly install Ubuntu. Hence, I am looking for some guidance here. I'd appreciate any help.
I am hoping that I am not missing any package. Thanks for any help.

In order for AWS cli to run on MobaXterm, you will need to run the following commands in MobaXterm:
MobApt install python2-pip
pip2 install awscli
It will take some time for MobaXterm to complete steps 1 and 2. Also, AWS cli runs super slow in MobaXterm. You are better off using cmd.
This is the site that helped me ran AWS cli on MobaXterm.

how can i install heroku in my kali linux operating system?

I cant install heroku in my kali linux operating system. how can i resolve this issue?
isn't it not possible to run heroku in kali linux?
when I have try to install, it show snap command not found.
Heroku no longer supports Snap installs:
Snap installs are no longer supported. Please use another install method below.
Since Kali is derived from Debian, you should be able to use the Debian / Ubuntu method (which doesn't auto-update) or the standalone tarball method (which does). You can also use the NPM / Yarn package if you prefer, though Heroku recommends against it.
All of these options require some amount of trust in Heroku. The first two pull a script down from the Internet and pipe it into sh, which always makes me a bit uneasy. I suspect they both request elevated privileges during the install process. Instead of piping the file directly in to sh as Heroku recommends, I suggest you download it and at least give it a quick read through the first time.
In any case, here is the command that Heroku recommends to install the standalone version:
curl https://cli-assets.heroku.com/install.sh | sh

Silent/Automated Homebrew Install

I am trying to get homebrew installed remotely on a machine without a terminal open and without ssh access to the machine. Our company uses a Directory-as-a-Service which allows us to remotely push shell scripts to our computers which is great, but it requires the scripts to have no interactivity.
Is there a way to automate the installer and remove the “Press enter to continue” prompt in the install process?
Thanks,
Zach S
The env variable CI seems to silence this prompt:
export CI=1

gCloud SDK failed to install in macOS behind corporate proxy

I am trying to install gcloud SDK while using a coporate network which works behind a proxy (and a VPN sometimes). I get proxy settings automatically using a pac.fcgi file (Automatic Proxy Configuration).
Now when I try to run ./install.sh in the terminal, I am constantly getting the following error
➜ google-cloud-sdk ./install.sh
Welcome to the Google Cloud SDK!
To help improve the quality of this product, we collect anonymized usage data

to opt out of this collection now (by choosing 'N' at the below prompt), or at

gcloud config set disable_usage_reporting true
Do you want to help improve the Google Cloud SDK (Y/n)?
ERROR: (gcloud.components.list) Failed to fetch component listing from server. Check your network settings and try again.
I found this SO question which was having the same issue, but their problem was related to ipv6. I already have ipv6 disabled (I can't even enable it) and I am using ethernet to connect to the network. Thus the answer is not useful to me.
I searched for proxy related info about installation and found this page. It asks for using a non-interactive installer instead and using gcloud command to set the proxy after installation. My problem is that I can't even install gcloud. I have tried with both interactive and non-interactive installers.
Any way I can install gcloud while being behind a corporate proxy.
PS: I am on macOS High Sierra and using zsh shell (already tried bash), in case it matters.
So, the problem was I was unable to set proxy before installation of gcloud. The installation of gcloud basically set the CLI in the path and installs some required components (core, bq, gsutil etc).
So what I did is I added the following lines in my .zshrc
source <PATH to gcloud sdk>/google-cloud-sdk/path.zsh.inc
source <PATH to gcloud sdk>/google-cloud-sdk/completion.zsh.inc
or if you're using bash, add these lines in your .bashrc or .bash_profile
source <PATH to gcloud sdk>/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc
source <PATH to gcloud sdk>/google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc
After that I restarted the terminal (or just run source ~/.zshrc or source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bash_profile on terminal)
Now I was able to use gcloud commands. I ran gcloud init, set the proxy and then installed the required components using the following command -
gcloud components install core bq gsutil
And I installed gcloud without using the install.sh script.
PS: Run scutil --proxy to know the proxy settings set in your system.
For Windows 10 users who experience this issue. I installed the google SDK from the archived versions page. then used git bash to install using ./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh. then added in environment variable manually to PATH to use commands.

Could not execute Node.js Cloud9

I am trying to use Cloud9 IDE on a server. I added the SSH key and once I try to SSH into the server the error message
Could not execute node.js on root#xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
appears.
I have nodejs installed on the server, v0.10.25
You need to install the package "nodejs-legacy".
apt-get install nodejs-legacy
The SSH dialog allows you to set the path to the Node.js binary. That should solve your issue.
I found it is necessary to scroll down and click on the advanced tab. Then I entered /usr/bin/nodejs from my "which nodejs" output in my SSH session. This worked for me even though the documentation states AWS tries to do this by default. That left me in the AWS file work space on the server I ssh'ed into as desired.
nodejs was not installed on my EC2 instance, so I installed using the instructions from the following link, and it work perfectly. Tutorial: Setting Up Node.js on an Amazon EC2 Instance
sudo apt-get install nodejs worked for me

Why Rethinkdb don't have binary for windows?

I am interested in Rethinkdb and would like to develop/test on it, but main problem is: it don't have package for windows operating system. I tried to compile from source code, that was also not possible as there was no any instruction.
What makes it so difficult to make executable for windows? Is there any alternative way to install Rethinkdb in windows OS? even very small and not that famous application has windows binary but not Rethinkdb. It is quite surprise for me. Another surprising is there are many community executable for other OS but not windows.
Thank you for understanding and waiting for good answer.
Rethinkdb just announced that it started development for Windows. Please follow
[1] https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/1100
[2] https://twitter.com/segphault/status/590633792781611009
Update:
RethinkDB announced in Windows :
[3] https://rethinkdb.com/docs/install/windows/
Cross-platform development isn't that easy. RethinkDB uses some features under the covers which makes porting it to Windows a difficult job, f.e. a Unix toolchain for the builds and Unix syscalls. For more information on that have a look at this GitHub issue. It states that Windows support is planned, but with low priority.
As a quick fix, you could RethinkDB run in a virtual machine or in Microsoft Azure. For the second one, I wrote a blog post a few weeks ago.
RethinkDB has already started development for Windows. While it's not released yet, this is how you can run it through Vagrant. See: https://github.com/gearz-lab/rethinkdb-vagrant
I'm using Chocolatey, feel free to skip steps if they don't apply.
Installing Chocolatey
Open Powershell as an administrator and run this command:
iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
... now you should have Chocolatey installed. We're gonna use to install the others.
Installing Vagrant
Run this as an administrator:
choco install vagrant -y
Installing VirtualBox
Vagrant relies on a virtualization application that it calls a "provider". The default one is VirtualBox so let's install it. Run cmd as administrator and run this:
choco install virtualbox -y
Now you should be able to run the vboxmanage command. If it doesn't work, make sure C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox is in your PATH.
Installing Cygwin
We're gonna log on a virtual machine using SSH, so we need a SSH enabled terminal. For that, let's use Cygwin.
choco install cyg-get -y
Installing Cygwin packages
There'are two Cygwin packages we need to install, openssh, because Cygwin doesn't have SSH support by default, and rsync so Vagrant can use it to synchronize files between the host and the guest machines.
On PowerShell, running as an administrator, let's run these commands:
cyg-get openssh
cyg-get rsync
Cloning rethinkdb-vagrant
Open the Cygwin64 Terminal. You should now be in your Cygwin home folder, which should look like C:\tools\cygwin\home\[YOUR_USER].
Make sure you have git installed. If you don't just choco install git -y. Now, clone rethyinkdb-vagrant:
git clone https://github.com/gearz-lab/rethinkdb-vagrant.git
Now you should have a directory like this: C:\tools\cygwin\home\[YOUR_USER]\rethinkdb-vagrant.
Starting Vagrant and useful commands
From inside the Cygwin64 Terminal home directory (described in the last step), type cd rethinkdb-vagrant, now, any Vagrant commands will target cd rethinkdb-vagrant.
To setup and boot the machine: vagrant up (After this, RethinkDB is available, see next step).
To access the machine's terminal: vagrant ssh.
To destroy the machine (every RethinkDB data will be lost): vagrant destroy.
To suspend the machine: vagrant suspend.
To resume a suspended machine: vagrant resume.
Accessing RethinkDB.
Make sure you have vagrant up from the last step. Now:
For accessing the web administration tool: http://localhost:8080.
For accessing RethinkDB from a client app, the port is 28015.
