So, I'm trying to understand and having a hard time finding exactly what I'm looking for. Do I need to download Debian everytime I restart Parallels for Mac? So far, that's what is happening. I can't figure out a way to persist debian so I can save things in it. Is this not possible?

One of my friends sent me a link on how to use terminal to get OSU! to run on mac. It worked perfectly, but now I am wondering if it is only for certain things, or if I can use terminal commands to make a .exe program run?
Anyone know if this is possible, and if so how would I go about doing it?
Thanks.
Macs aren’t compatible with Windows apps.
But you can try an app called wine.
Wine tries to provide an environment to run Windows exes.
Download the binary packages at here
Get the stable installer.
Make sure that you’ve got xquartz installed using homebrew: brew install xquartz.
The easiest and free way to run .exe files is to run it on "PlayOnMac". It might show some bugs(never faced a major bug). but it solves the problem. You can easily copy paste files on it like if you want to crack the software.
I'm working with an old (Delphi 2010) app with a number of very specific components that have to be installed, some from compiled from sources. It's a pain to set up, is what I'm getting at.
Currently, I have it on a Windows 10 machine, but I haven't upgraded Windows 10 in quite some time. If I upgrade Windows, it breaks the debugger (and I haven't been able to fix that so I've downgraded Windows).
I'm trying to find any way to move the Delphi environment without having to go through the various steps to get it to work, like making a VM out of it. Or, if I have to go through the steps again, only do it one more time in such a way that I can push-button recreate it. (There are a lot of things I need to try to upgrade the app itself, but many of those strategies will break the environment for me.)
Any strategies?
I'm trying to run cb_share_config from an xterm to import some color themes using:
"sudo cb_share_config"
which results in:
"Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly?"
This doesn't make sense to me since I'm running it locally, not through ssh or anything. I didn't think I needed to set the the display. Everything I've searched for is related to connecting to a server, which I'm not doing.
Code::Blocks version 16.01
OpenSUSE Leap version 42.3
Thanks in advance.
Ok so I've solved the problem or rather avoided it altogether by just running the tool directly from a file manager (Thunar). I'm still not entirely satisfied with Windows-like solution but it works. If anyone has any insights as to why I couldn't run it through a terminal I'd like to hear it but I suspect it might be a better question for a linux board.
Recently lost my hard drive where I had WAMP installed and Imagick working.
Someone else did that part for me way back.
Reinstalling Win7 and getting everything working again = nightmare.
So I installed the latest version of WAMP - NO Imagick.
3 days of trying all the solutions on this site (and some others - sorry) and got nowhere.
Does anyone know of a "one shot" installation that will work out the box?
Maybe a fork of one of them - I looked but found nothing
Or maybe I should install Ubuntu onto an old PC and use that as a web server on my home LAN?
Seriously - they are depreciating the GD library some time soon and Imagick is apparently the successor but no-one supports Imagick natively.
Jumping through all sorts of hoops is no guarantee that it will work either as I have painfully found out.
Thanks in advance people.
WAMP and XAMPP are not up to speed with the transition from the soon to be removed GD library to the ImageMagic library and it would seem that neither are planning to bring their products up to date any time soon.
That leaves many users with a major problem as most web site developers need to be able to manipulate images at some time or another during their work.
For users who are not at a reasonably high level of expertize as far as messing around in the guts of the (in my case, Windows) operating systems, this is a nightmare and can be downright dangerous.
I did find what seemed to be a viable alternative in WampDeveloper Pro but unless you specifically go looking for it, their website is very hush-hush about the fact that its going to cost you over $125 to get it working.
You only find out about this at the first run after installing.
So my options are the following:
Put one of the Ubuntu distributions on a VM
or
Find an old drive, install it into your PC and make the PC dual boot using a Ubuntu distribution.
The second option will "ease" me into converting from Microsoft based OS reliance to a Linux based OS however if that does not work out, I do have the option to create an Ubuntu VM under the Windows system (I have used VM for a while under Windows) and use that in place of the other Windows based web server alternatives.
Either way I will be able to carry on servicing my clients and making a living without spending money or having a stroke due to pure frustration.
I may regret this decision BUT I may start wondering to myself "Now why did you wait so long?"
I have tried in vain to install JDK on a flash drive. I have seen many threads on how to do this, but, I do not see one which addresses my issue. I have JDK on my PC already. No matter if I Run from the website or save to the desktop or flash drive itself, when I double click the Java icon to install, I do not have an opportunity to select any installation preferences. It just runs the configuration then tells me the files already exist. Even when I save to the flash and click the icon within my flash folder, it still tries to install on the PC.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
There's a hacky way to do this that I don't recommend, but apart from copying the files directly to flash drive, this is the only solution I can think of. The Java installer is likely detecting your registry key for the one you already have installed. I don't recommend doing this unless you know what you're doing, but deleting the folders in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit
May have it skip the check and just install it. I recommend you write down what you modified in the registry and make sure that you can re-create it before doing this. If this works as I think it will, the Java installer should not detect the other version of Java on your computer, and you should be able to proceed with installation. I still recommend just copying the appropriate directories to your flash drive instead though, Chris B has the right idea.
Note: This is my first answer. I hope I was able to help you! If not, let me know in the comments so I can do my best to get you to the optimal solution you are looking for! :)
