Windows 7 & 10 HOME Data Science setup (Torus, Docker and Cookiecutter)

This setup in opinionated. Please read the disclaimer below

I wanted to set up Torus on Windows 7 and Windows 10 Home and realized it was not as simple as I thought (at least compared to Linux and Mac).

As a summary, Docker Desktop is not supported for Windows 7 and Windows 10 HOME, so you have to install Docker Toolbox

After reading and testing I got a batch script to somehow automate the process.

What will this do?

  1. Install chocolatey
  2. Install python3 using chocolatey
  3. Create a Docker forlder in the folder where the script is
  4. Install pip and cookiecutter
  5. Download DockerTools from docker.com into Docker folder
  6. Open DockerTools.exe for you and wait until it is installed
  7. Create Torus project

Instructions

  1. Download scripts/data-science-windows-7-and-10-HOME.cmd to a folder of your choice. I recommend your Documents or Desktop folder.
  2. Right clic on the file and click on open as administrator

  1. Follow the instructions.
  2. Open Docker Quickstart Terminal and cd to the project folder inside folder you chose
  3. From Docker Quickstart Terminal run ./start.sh
  4. Once ready you will have a TORUS instance up and running. You can check by running docker ps in a cmd or terminal

TO-DO

[ ] Fix script for Windows 10 Pro (or not HOME) to support WLS and Docker Desktop
