Every time I ran an executable installed in the system it's all fine without any prompt, but recently I configured my vim editor to do c++ coding. Every time I build a program using make through vim and want to run the built executable, a pop up shows that this file is an executable and whether I want to execute it??
How do I turn that thing off so that no prompt will annoy me?
edit:
The prompt appears only when double clicking the file outside the vim editor.
using LXDE desktop on debian.
edit:
I noticed that any executable file double clicked in file manager gets the same pop up.
when launching the app through the desktop panel it is fine.
I don't know what you did when you "configured vim to do c++", but you should simply be able to build either with a make file by running :make or with g++ directory by calling:
:!g++ % -o %< # calls gcc filename.ext -o filename
Then in like manner to run the compiled program:
:!./%< # executes ./filename (w/o extension) and without prompting
Are you on ubuntu? If so, try open preference of the file, find behavior options, choose execute it when open.

I enjoy using gitahed, and I would like to add a shortcut to lauch it, with github desktop I use github-desktop, but I can do the same with GA?
How can I launch gitahed from terminal?
GitAhead has a Terminal panel at Tools->Options. It has a button to install command line tools. It really just creates a symlink to the GitAhead binary in /usr/local/bin. If that doesn't work for some reason, you can create the symlink yourself or an alias. See command line options by running with the --help flag. There are only a few at the moment.
I am attempting to install RetroPie as an app on Raspbian Stretch and I am done except for creating a desktop shortcut for it. The problem is that the only way to open RetroPie seems to be running a command in the command line. I can’t do it in terminal because it gives me an error saying that it can’t initialize the window. Is there a way to run a command line command as a shortcut or am I going to have to find another way of doing this?
P.S. Here is the tutorial that I followed to install RetroPie:
https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/install-retropie-app-raspberry-pi/
Probably your shell (on the raspberry) is GNU bash. So read the manual of GNU bash.
You probably want (once) to edit some Bash startup file (such as ~/.bashrc) to define functions and aliases there, and you could add executable shell scripts somewhere in your $PATH. I recommend having a $HOME/bin/ directory containing your scripts and executables, and have $HOME/bin/ early in your $PATH.
I can’t do it in terminal because it gives me an error saying that it can’t initialize the window.
Perhaps you need some display server (such as Xorg or Wayland) running (with a desktop environment or a window manager). You could run Xorg on your PC (on which you could install Linux) and connect to the raspberry using ssh -X then remote applications running on your Raspberry are displayed on your PC. IF your Raspberry is directly connected to a screen (via HDMI) you might run some Xorg server on it.
Is there a way to run a command line command as a shortcut
Yes, by making a shell alias or shell function or shell script. You need to understand how they work and change or create some appropriate file using some source code editor (I recommend GNU emacs, but the choice is yours and you might use any other editor such as vim, gedit, etc...): functions and aliases could be defined in your ~/.bashrc; shell scripts would usually have their own file with a shebang under your $HOME/bin/...
I was watching a speedy workflow tutorial about Atom text editor, and saw how the guy uses Linu commands like ls (to check the files in the directory), touch (to create files eg. style.css) and mkdir (to create folders). Now in my Atom editor I am able to open the command line using the following command.
CTRL + SHIFT + T
Now in my command line the default windows command line opens up, I am able to create folder using mkdir, but the commands touch and ls don't work, which makes me wonder weather Atom has its own command line?
See the SCREENSHOT to see how this guy is creating folders, files and using the ls command.
So my question is, how do I create files in Atom? How do I get the touch command to work?
It looks like the tutorial is using the Term2 package for opening a shell within the editor (http://code.tutsplus.com/courses/speedy-workflows-with-atom/lessons/term2). Since you seem to be able to open a terminal using the described screenshot, you seem to have the Term2 package installed - so far so good.
This package opens a standard command window within the editor. The tutorial seems to be using Linux or Mac OS X as the operating system. If you're running Windows, you will only have the Windows CMD interpreter available.
Windows does not natively support the touch command (but it has a mkdir command). There is a unxtools project that provides some of the common Gnu tools. If you install that, you should be able to run touch from the Windows command shell as well. More details can be found here.
I want to install some softwares such as notepad++, safari etc in silent mode using command prompt. And my OS is win2k8r2.
I placed two executables npp.6.3.3.Installer.exe and SafariStup 4.2.exe in a folder in c drive and used command line arguments as below..
c:\AllFiles>npp.6.3.3.Installer.exe -s
it executes, but shows dialog boxes that was not expected.Please help...
Each program is going to be different, some don't even support silent installations. From command line if you do yourfile.exe /? it should tell you available options.
For Notepad++, I recommend simply downloading the ZIP package (not the EXE installer), unpacking it to the desired location, and adding a Start Menu shortcut.
You don't need to install it per se.
I just downloaded and started using Vim so I'm still a bit confused with it. I've been watching tutorial videos and I see that I can open Vim by typing vim in command. However when I do it I get
'vim' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Did I need to install something else? Also I want to code and compile C in vim, would I need to install a compiler?
You have to invoke Vim (or gvim, the GUI application) with the full path, e.g.
"C:\Program Files\vim\vim74\vim.exe"
The Vim installer doesn't add the location to the PATH. In Windows, you can create a shortcut (*.lnk) in your Start Menu, or re-run "C:\Program Files\vim\vim74\install.exe", which has an option to install batch files to C:\Windows, or manually add "C:\Program Files\vim\vim74" to your PATH via the Control Panel.
Vim is just a (very advanced and powerful) text editor, so it ships with syntax highlighting for most programming languages, but unlike IDEs, it doesn't come with the full toolset of compiler, linker, debugger, etc. You need to separately install that (e.g. mingw, or Microsoft's compiler from the Windows SDK, or any other).
C:\>vim somefile.txt
During Vim (for Win32) install, you have the option to install batch files for launching vim from the command-line.
make sure you install vim properly. (https://www.vim.org/download.php)
On Windows. Don't forget to set the environment variables (simply add \vim\vim**; at the end of the classpath)
Type vim at command line (gvim.exe will start the Graphic user interface software).
If you want to compile and run c program using the command line, you should download the GCC Compiler and follow the same procedure as mentioned before (The classpath thing). Then you can compile C program using gcc command.
