At a higher-ed institution and I am trying to install an app called "Guide on the Side" (https://github.com/ualibraries/Guide-on-the-Side). It sits on a LAMP stack of varying flavors, but--of course--we are a Windows-based institution. My question is of the "what does that mean!?" variety.
I have my db created, the config "configurated," but then there's the following procedure:
Install the database schema by running the following commands from the guide_on_the_side/app folder:
../lib/Cake/Console/cake Migrations.migration --plugin Tags all
../lib/Cake/Console/cake Migrations.migration all
Can someone translate? Can I actually "run" this in a windows cmd. I've some familiarity with terminals in *Nix OS's but I neeeeever touch the command line on Windows, so I'm just out of my element.
cake is a console command (shell script) for the CakePHP application framework.
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/console-and-shells.html
You should be able to run the cake command from the Windows shell (it will refer to the cake.bat batch file).
You may need to make other adjustments for running CakePHP apps on IIS.

I'm using multipass to setup an Ubuntu virtual machine image. I'd like to make the installation of apt packages repeatable. Is it possible to script this somehow?
You could create a cloud-config file and add it via --cloud-init option when launching a fresh VM. Cloud init lets you provision a VM on almost any cloud provider, it's a very versatile tool. That way you can add any package you want, create news users, run bash commands etc. .
More on cloud-config files here.
You then run a cloud-config file with:
multipass launch -n your_vm_name --cloud-init path/to/cloudconfig/file.yaml
I'd like to schedule a KNIME workflow. The workflow does its job very good as long as I start it from the KNIME GUI application. When I execute the same workflow via command line, java complains that com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
could not be found (ClassNotFoundException).
I invoke it via:
"D:\Progamme\KNIME\knime.exe" -nosplash -application -consoleLog org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -preferences="absolutepathto\preferences.epf" -workflowDir="absolutepathto\workflow"
Since the error message signals missing content in the java CLASSPATH I also tried to add the parameters
-vmargs -classpath .;"absolutepathto/sqljdbc42.jar"
But still I earn a java slap, pointing to the same error...
I also tried to run the command from within the knime.exe's directory and I also tried to add the JAR file to Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variable / User Libraries (referenced via the -preference argument). But that had no effect.
Did anybody face the same problems? Maybe with other third party JARs?
It is all about a Database connector that is configured like this:
Does the integrated security maybe force a misleading error?

Is there maybe a problem due to the fact that it is a shared KNIME instance among several users and the command line execution does not know which workspace has to be chosen? Is the workspace somehow needed and why?
Partial Solution:
I finally managed it but I don't know exactly why it works now. What I did was to load a fresh portable version of KNIME and ran the same commands only changing the executable path to the new portable version. Before that I started the portable version once to set the workspace directory and register the database driver in preferences dialog and .ini file, nothing else, same configuration so far as the shared KNIME instance. What I am really wondering abpout is that from now on the commands are also working with the shared KNIME instance. I really don't know what caused the change that let KNIME find the driver class.
Info
Because I encountered a few more problems within shared environment in KNIME command line mode, that led to undeterministic execution results, I wrote a little .NET library. This gives me more flexibility/control over the workflow execution (which returncodes and error messages occured and so on). You can find it here if you're interested: KnimeNet
I took a very minimal approach:
cd "C:\Program Files\KNIME"
.\knime -nosplash -noexit -consoleLog -reset -application org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -workflowFile="D:\Work\Knime Workflows\Output\CMD_Test.knwf" -preferences="D:\Work\Knime Workflows\Output\CMD_Test.epf"
I can't get the controller emulator to work with Google VR SDK 1.1 & Unity 5.6b3 under Arch Linux 64-bit. If I load the GVRDemo scene in Unit and click the play button to enter Play Mode, the console shows the following:
"Android Debug Bridge (adb) command not found.
Verify that the Android SDK is installed and that the directory containing adb is included in your PATH environment variable."
In Windows, you have to add the directory containing the Android Debug Bridge (adb) program to the PATH environment variable in Windows itself (not in the Unity program). Once you do that, the Controller Emulator works fine in Windows. You have to do the same in Linux, evidently, to get Unity to locate adb, and therefore get the Controller Emulator phone working for testing the game.
I've added the following line in my .bashrc and .profile files in my home directory:
"PATH=/home/jesse/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/:$PATH"
This, however, doesn't fix the issue.
I've also added the root directory of the Android SDK to my Unity Preferences > External Tools section.
I don't know how to get Unity and Google VR SDK to recognize the directory containing adb to the PATH environment variable that Unity needs to make the Controller Emulator work.
Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix or work-around?
I was able to locate the culprit and modify Google VR SDK scripts to make it work! Turns out there was an issue in the code of the script file titled "EmulatorClientSocket.cs" regarding non-Windows machines. Here's what I changed, and why:
Originally, in line 111 and 112 of this script, it read:
stringprocessFilename="bash";
stringprocessArguments = string.Format(" -l -c \"{0}\"", adbCommand);
The context is that when Windows is not present (forgive my layman's terms -- I've only started learning coding a month ago) the command to process is this: bash -l -c "adb forward tcp:7003 tcp:7003". The problem is when the -l option is used in the command, the command is interpreted as if coming from a login shell, which - I believe - means that bash isn't looking at the custom environment variables set in the user's .bashrc and .profile files in their home directory. Without looking at those files, bash can't locate the adb command (try running the bold command above in a terminal, and the result will be a prompt saying adb command not found).
To fix it, I simply removed the -l option from line 112, and, voila! Everything works like a charm! Lines 111 and 112 now look like this:
stringprocessFilename="bash";
stringprocessArguments = string.Format(" -c \"{0}\"", adbCommand);
The fix will work when running "unity-editor" or "unity-editor-beta" from the Terminal or Xterm, but running it from the application menu will still produce the adb error and Controller Emulator will not work.
I'm using cakephp to develop my project and I want to create models using the command prompt as that is easier than creating models manually. As I'm using the windows environment.
I edited the path in my computer/advanced settings/environment variable/system variable as below.
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\wamp\www\fit or fat\lib\Cake\Console;
(I have renamed my cakephp folder as fit or fat)
But whwn I enter the 'cake bake ' command in cmd I'm getting the error message that cake is not recognized as an internal or external command.
Is there anything else I have to do/
In Windows you need to use cake.bat instead just cake which is for *nix.
Also you can run bake without environment variables setting just do the following
cd "C:\wamp\www\fit or fat"
lib\Cake\Console\cake.bat bake
but you need to setup correct correct path to your php anyway.
If you want to just run bake without any setting do the following
cd "C:\wamp\www\fit or fat"
c:\wamp\php\bin\php.exe lib\Cake\Console\cake.php bake
please check path to your php executable, it can differ from mine c:\wamp\php\bin\php.exe
I have GWT app, which is deployed on GAE (Java). I'm trying to download data from App Engine datastore using appcfg.py . I did all the setup according to http://ikaisays.com/2010/06/10/using-the-bulkloader-with-java-app-engine/ .
GAE Python SDK version is 1.4.3
Python version is 2.5.4
appcfg.py is on my PATH. When I run appcfg.py on the command-line, I get the "help" message. But the problem is that no matter which command I use, it always returns the help message. I have not been able to run any command using appcfg.py.
It doesn't give any specific error message no matter what arguments I give. My app is using Google Accounts authentication, but I don't think it even gets to the point of authentication.
I'm able to use the Java appcfg (for other actions like rollback) without any problem. But the Python version simply refuses to work for all commands.
I've tried different formats like:
appcfg.py create_bulkloader_config --url=http://myappid.appspot.com/remote_api --application=myappid --filename=config.yml
appcfg.py create_bulkloader_config --filename=bulkloader.yaml --url=http://myappid.appspot.com/remote_api
appcfg.py --filename=bulkloader.yaml --url=http://myappid.appspot.com/remote_api create_bulkloader_config
All give me the same help message:
Usage: appcfg.py [options]
Action must be one of:
create_bulkloader_config: Create a bulkloader.yaml from a running application.
cron_info: Display information about cron jobs.
download_app: Download a previously-uploaded app.
download_data: Download entities from datastore.
help: Print help for a specific action.
request_logs: Write request logs in Apache common log format.
rollback: Rollback an in-progress update.
set_default_version: Set the default (serving) version.
update: Create or update an app version.
update_cron: Update application cron definitions.
update_dos: Update application dos definitions.
update_indexes: Update application indexes.
update_queues: Update application task queue definitions.
upload_data: Upload data records to datastore.
vacuum_indexes: Delete unused indexes from application.
Use 'help <action>' for a detailed description.
Options:
-h, --help Show the help message and exit.
-q, --quiet Print errors only.
-v, --verbose Print info level logs.
--noisy Print all logs.
-s SERVER, --server=SERVER
...
...
...
Even when I try "appcfg.py help create_bulkloader_config" for a detailed description, it still shows me the same standard help.
I have also tried on the local development server using the url http://127.0.0.1:8888/remote_api but it still gives the same help message.
I'm totally clueless as to what the problem is. I'm new to GWT and GAE, and any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
The following fix worked for me. It looks like appcfg.py doesn't like PYTHON27 and ALWAYS returns the help menu. I fixed it by executing it with PYTHON25 and hard coded all my file locations:
C:\Python25-archive\python "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\appcfg.py" rollback C:\scripts\myapp
The right way is to change the environment variables on Windows 7:
Go to System Properties
Go to Advance System Settings
Click on Environment Variables
Append to Path variable the values C:\Python27\
Click Ok and restart your computer. (Yes, it is needed.)
Another way is to:
Open command Prompt
Locate your python.exe file. For example:
C:\Python27>_
Then, run a python command that looks like this.
python <appcfg_directory> download_app -A <your_app_id> -V <your_app_version> <output-dir>
Where <appcfg_directory> is equal to C:\Program Files\Google\google_appengine\appcfg.py. (Depending on your file location)
Don't forget to put quotes before and after <appcfg_directory>
