Because upgrading / setting up a new computer is tiring and boring. Just run your scripts and don't waste your time.

Automating setups

There are 2 scripts:

• linux_progams.sh just executes the commands to install the programs.
• setup.sh creates a conda environment with the wanted python version and libraries.

Install Miniconda and wanted libraries in windows/linux.

For windows:

This repository is meant to create your Conda virtual environment with the packages you need. If you have already everything installed to run Conda, VScode and WSL, just navigate to ths folder:

bash setup.sh <name_for_the_environment> <python_version_like_3.8.2> 

If not, configurations have to be made.

WSL and VSCode

Click to expand

• Linux terminal (ubuntu SO works great) => https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

• run as administrator the powershell and write

wsl –install

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Run as administrator

wsl.exe --update
wsl –shutdown (it forces reboot)

• Reboot the system

• Once rebooted, the ubuntu shell will prompt asking for a new user and password. If not prompted => https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/setup/environment#set-up-your-linux-username-and-password

• Download VSCode

• configure Linux terminal to work with VSCode

  • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/wsl-vscode
  • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/setup/environment

• Run the following commands in the powershell:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

Preparing Conda (virtual environment)

Click to expand

Conda.

sudo apt-get update

If you can't run it, do the following:

• Install this conda distribution

wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-4.7.12.1-Linux-x86_64.sh

Configure some .conda scripts:

• Create wsl.conf

Cd /etc
Sudo touch wsl.conf
Sudo nano wsl.conf

• Write inside the following:

[network]
generateResolvConf = false

• Create resolv.conf

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

• Overwrite the inside with

nameserver 8.8.8.8

• block that file

sudo chattr -f +i /etc/resolv.conf

• Restart wsl with wsl --shutdown
• Wait for a few seconds (15-30) as WSL takes some time to restart. Then, for running it again, just run: wsl
• Activate Conda

Sudo apt-get update
Conda activate

• Add the conda-forge source

conda config --add channels conda-forge

Clone the respository.

Disclaimer: if you can't maybe is that you need writing permissions on that folder. That can be changed as follows:

• Navigate above the folder in which you want to clone the repo. In the terminal:

ls

(you should see the folder)

Chown –R <linux_user>:<linux_user data_folder/>
