Windows Setup

windows setup.md

• Ubuntu environments: https://gist.github.com/xinzhel/6eee594f22cf6b95910dc67c40c21b94
• Install VS-Code and WSL remote extension on the WSL distribtion.
  • VSCode could be conveniently used as the client interface for Windows WSL 2, Azure VM, Azure Computing Instance and Azure Compute Cluster.
• Run the following code to setup Python environment

wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-py38_23.3.1-0-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Miniconda3-py38_23.3.1-0-Linux-x86_64.sh

This will download Python version 3.8. Check links here for more versions.

• (Optinal; Just for FANCY interface) Install Window Terminal

  • ( for terminal display) Install Powerline for Windows Terminal
    • add the following content into bash profile

         # customize prompt
         GOPATH=$HOME/go
         function _update_ps1() {
                     PS1="$($GOPATH/bin/powerline-go -error $?)"
             }
         if [ "$TERM" != "linux" ] && [ -f "$GOPATH/bin/powerline-go" ]; then
                     PROMPT_COMMAND="_update_ps1; $PROMPT_COMMAND"
         fi
         source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
      

  Now, we can have the familiar Bash Shell (on an actual Linux kernel) and VS-Code for happy programming.
