How to install Enthought Canopy packages on standalone machines? - enthought

How do I install Canopy packages if I am on a computer without an internet connection? Should I use the egginst.exe in the System sandbox or the user sandbox?

Never mind. The article in the Documentation entitled "Where are all of the Python packages in my User Python Environment" explains it well. Canopy looks for packages in the following order user --> system --> canopy installation.
So login to your Enthought account and go to the repository. Download all the eggs you want and install with USERNAME\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy32\User\Scripts\egginst.exe
At least that seems to work for me.

How to install and run Theia, browser based IDE?

I want to develop remotely and read about Theia. I could install the program with pip
pip install theia
But then there is no description available on how to start the program. Is it plug-in for Eclipse, or do I have to run it in docker or what?
Theia is not an extension of the classic Eclipse project. This is not really an installable app.
If you want to run Theia locally, you can follow the tutorial of the official documentation : Official help to setup environement.
Be sure to have Node.js 10 installed. It is not currently compatible with Node.js 12. If you want to have more than one version of Node installed on you machine, I advise you nvm (nvm github) or nvm-windows (nvm windows github).
If it can be useful, I personnally have a small bat script to launch Theia at the manner of a desktop app
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --app=http://localhost:3000
yarn start

Python 3.7.2 Windows x86 executable installer does not allow single user installation

I am trying to install latest Python (3.7.3) on a couple of Windows 10 PCs without admin privileges. For this purpose I downloaded the corresponding executable installer from download link.
When executing the installer, some of the Windows PCs show the Install launcher for all users (recommended) option force checked. I can't proceed with the installation since I'm asked for admin privileges even though Python is to be installed on a user directory with reading and writing permissions.
Why is the Install launcher for all users (recommended) option force checked? Could it have something to do with existing launcher installations? Is there any way around?
Not sure why, but once I uninstalled existing Python Launcher I was able to uncheck the Install launcher for all users option and install Python without admin privileges.

Installing LaserFiche with PowerShell and Chocolatey

I'm building a custom Chocolatey repo with custom packages for my organization so that we can easily manage software without Group Policies. One piece of software we use is LaserFiche. I am trying to make it do a silent installation, however every time I install from my Choco package, it says that it couldn't install MSXML 6 SP1. All the other prerequisites are installed successfully. I was thinking it was an issue with the installer not being able to find the .msi associated with this, but I tried manually running the installer for that add-on and then installing from my package and it still failed. I'm quite confused as to what is wrong here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

How to install Hipchat Server on CentOS 6?

In my deep dive into the CentOS terminal, I was able to install and setup Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket servers. However, the Hipchat Server seems to be based on something completely different.
Is there a step by step guide to installing Hipchat; From what's needed (dependencies) to installing (which I'm not even sure is part of the process) to seeing it work (log-in, etc.)?
Atlassian's official guide is written in such a way, that I look at it confused - as if it's a riddle that will never be solved. lol
By HipChat4, I'm assuming you refer to the HipChat Client. If so, have you tried the instructions outlined here?
sudo bash -c ‘cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/hipchat.repo << EOF_hipchat
[atlassian-hipchat]
name=Atlassian Hipchat
baseurl=https://atlassian.artifactoryonline.com/atlassian/hipchat-yum-client/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF_hipchat’
sudo yum update
sudo yum install hipchat4
If what you're trying to install is the server, then keep in mind that HipChat Server is only supported on AWS (via the Atlassian provided AMI), or as a VM for private datacenters (via the Atlassian provided OVA). You can't install HipChat Server directly on a Linux box.
If your OS can run a virtualization platform (e.g. VirtualBox) then you can download the OVA from https://www.hipchat.com/server#get-hipchat-server, import it, start your VM and configure it. More thorough instructions are available here.

Windows Web Platform Installer vs Manual Install?

I am going to be moving all my websites to a Windows Web Server 2008 R2 machine. I have installed it in a virtual machine to test that my websites work with it.
I have noticied that there is a program called Web Platform Installer. I have used it to install a few sites but I was just thinking is it a security risk using this? Would it be better for me to manually install the sites (WordPress, Umbraco, etc)
Thanks
We push that out to all our customers just for ease of deployment, and I have not seen any security issues with it, however, I would question its reliability as it fails about 10% of the time (to install whatever I have selected). Having said that, when it does work, its a fairly good tool, as it will install any prerequisites that you may not have been aware of (like SMO, or if you try to install Wordpress without MySQL), and will also keep you up-to-date on newer version of software that you have installed.
