Cygwin install on Windows 10 behind a VPN

[michaellavery-grp]

(I realize this an extreme edge case)

I got the code running on my work laptop , but it took some doing . The Windows installer mapped the conda.bat to a c:\ProgramData\anaconda3\bin folder. I sym-linked that to a /usr/local/bin/conda within my Cygwin install . I was then able to call conda and install the environment (after adding the -k insecure parameter) .

See screenshot :

Other issues, probably Cygwin and/or Windows related. A number of the Python modules installed by conda were versioned as 0.0.0 . I had to uninstall using 'pip uninstall ' and re-install using pip . Packagenames - uvicorn, starlette, fastapi, rauth, pydantic, platformdirs, virtualenv, filelock. Possibly py-cpuinfo, ipython-genutils, pyrsistent and matplotlib-inline . Not sure on those because they were listed as not installed at all.

What is the test URL on localhost:8080 ? @tvquizphd

We could certainly document the steps for Cygwin, or we recommend another shell:

• windows subsystem for linux
• Anaconda prompt

The versioning issue

The environment.yaml file has specific version numbers, none of which are 0.0.0. If this issue is still a concern for you, you could run this command on the affected machine and post the detailed-environment.yaml file:

conda env export > detailed-environment.yaml

The test URL

• From repo root, run python test.py -L to test the client and server:
  • 0.0.0.0:8080 displays the client.
• From repo root, python -m http.server 8080 to test only the client:
  • 0.0.0.0:8080/client displays the client.

Thanks, we can probably close this. There are other issues with the laptop that I was using (corporate firewall etc.)
