install VScode

@qzhang234 : You requested VScode to be installed in Python on APSshare

This issue will track the details and notes of that request.

This SO article is not much help, though:

Pete:

Thanks!

Just some background info:

1. The reason I’m thinking about installing VS Code (or PyCharm or any other mainstream IDE) is because I thought it would be neat to have the IPython and (advanced) text editing interface in one place;

2. I’ve managed to install VS Code in a Conda VE under qzhang234, but I can’t get pass admin auth when under 8idiuser. Not sure why though.

Thanks,

QZ

Yeah. The problem is that you cannot sudo to root and install anything on APS linux computers. Users don't get root access permissions. What I was reading about install VScode suggested to me that it had to be installed in the base environment. I'm working on updating Python3 now but it will take longer than expected since I ran into troubles when I tried about two weeks ago. Might just have to reinstall the whole thing. Not happy with that.

How did you install VScode into a virtual environment? Was that using conda install?

Pete:

This is the error I got when I tried to install on 8idiuser. Same thing worked when I install under VE QZ_Py_Test when logged in as qzhang234.

Any suggestions why this might be the case? I thought you can bypass root auth by using VE ...

Thanks,

QZ

Can't bypass root auth. The defense for that is robust. Did not see the error message? Can you post it again?

[qzhang234]

Here's the error message. Guess the image is not included into the discussion thread when you just reply to the email ...

[prjemian]

Yup. Need IT to install that for you. On a per machine basis. And I'm not sure how well that cooperates with the system python (/usr/bin and /usr/lib).

There must be a way to install this with anaconda. But I must put this aside for now to work on https://github.com/BCDA-APS/APSshare-anaconda-issues/issues/3.

[qzhang234]

Yes. The whole reason I used VS Code instead of the other zillion IDEs is because I thought it came with anaconda and APS has anaconda. But I agree anaconda3 (namely issue #3) is way, way more important than this. Please feel free to close this issue

[prjemian]

Not closing yet, might be able to select VScode during the install process (as the docs suggest).

Just installed a local copy of everything we have on /APSshare/anaconda3/x86_64 (Python3, 64-bit). Launched anaconda-navigator and pressed the "install" button for VScode. This screen comes up asking for sysAdmin credentials.

[prjemian]

Summary is: we cannot install VS Code as part of /APSshare python since it requires sysAdmin credentials (and likely installs only on the local workstation).

Too bad.
