• Get rid of period in OK.py name

• check status file on Linux VM for the deployment error

• Edit template to create Windows VM

• check OK.py client works and connect to OK server

How to install OKpy on Windows (in an Anaconda environment using Anaconda prompt):

conda create --name OKenv
activate OKenv
conda install pip
pip install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cal-CS-61A-Staff/ok-client/master/requirements.txt
conda install ipykernel
python -m ipykernel install --user --name myenv --display-name "OKenv"

conda install jupyter
jupyter notebook #make sure to select Kernel>change kernel and select OKenv

Same on a linux DSVM inside a venv:

#!/bin/sh

export ENV_NAME=okpyenv2

python3 -m venv $ENV_NAME --without-pip
source $ENV_NAME/bin/activate
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python
deactivate

source $ENV_NAME/bin/activate
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cal-CS-61A-Staff/ok-client/master/requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -U okpy

#test
python -c "from client.api.notebook import Notebook"
deactivate

At this stage, linux deployment script is broken. Several options were considered, none works so far

• install directly with pip fails because of permissions

• creating a venv fails because I can't manage to get it installed in the right location with the right permissions

• within a conda env fails: root is python2 and python3 is required apparently; py35 didn't work for some reason, creating an ad hoc env failed for some other reason

How to setup the jupyter server on linux

# activate venv
source ~/okpyenv2/bin/activate

# create custome python kernel corresponding to the venv
pip install ipykernel
python -m ipykernel install --user --name okpyenv2 --display-name "Python okpy"

# create minimal files to use jupyter as server and override some machine-wide settings
# TODO these should be improved
jupyter-notebook --generate-config
jupyter-notebook password

jupyter-notebook --no-browser --notebook-dir '/home/barral/ese' --port 9999 --ip 0.0.0.0
# then go to https://ip.of.the.vm:9999 and bypass dodgy certificate warning

@TempestVanSchaik what was the last status of this, are we in a position to do a PR back to the DS VM repo? Thanks.

Hi @marrobi I'll wrap this up today and tomorrow
