VS Command Line Tools in WSL

Starting with the Windows 10 Creators update, Windows will append the Windows application search path to Bash's PATH variable on startup. This allows Windows applications to be called from the Linux shell like any other program (see this blog post for details).

Here's my favorite part about this: with this update, if you start Bash from within the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt, you will have command line access to all the Visual Studio tools. This enables some neat opportunities like calling cl.exe from a makefile to build software. I prefer working on the command line and I'm not a fan of cmd.exe or Powershell, so this is a great way to leverage the native Windows toolchain from the comfort of a Linux shell.

To create a shortcut that will automatically start Bash using the VS command prompt, use the following as the shortcut target:

%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\M

Installing cfncluster with Anaconda

The cfncluster application is a CLI interface for rapidly instantiating an AWS compute cluster. To get the command line client:

>> pip install cfncluster
>> pip install easyconfig

For me, I don't need sudo becasue I'm using the Anaconda-installed pip to install into Anaconda's sitepackages directory.

I also found the the current version of cfncluster does not run unless easyconfig was installed

Setting Up Environment Modules

This turned out to be really easy.

    $ sudo apt-get install envrionment-modules

  2. Create a location where we'll place module files:

$ sudo mkdir /opt/modulefiles # Could be anywhere
