I am relatively new to the Linux world so forgive this question if it is simple. I have cloned the lessc repo from this url: https://github.com/cloudhead/less.js
However I cannot find a way of installing it. Am I missing something or is there a manual way to install things setup like this. I have encountered this problem several times and would appreciate any input you could offer. Thanks!
You don't have to install lessc with make install.
It is not a binary program, it's a javascript, so you jut have to copy in the correct position of your website.
Unlike programs, which have a specified position where they have to be installed, files that have to be served by webserver do not have an install script, because there's not fixed position in the filesystem where a website is stored.

From the research I did for the topic, I saw some recommendations to install tty.js with npm, but it wouldn't install as well - some sort of python exe missing from the system error.
I am able to run the program from Git CMD but it is all confusing for me because I am familiar with unix based consoles :(
The way I installed node.js and npm : All was doen with the installer provided by node.js.
Any insights? Thank you in advance!
I have installed tty.js in a linux enviroment and it works great, you should some building essentials installed, such as:
gcc
g++
make
As well as Python 2.7. When installing using npm, it will look for all the dependencies and as I understand it will compile some C code that does the magic behind the scenes. I haven't tried it on Windows, but what I have seen there is the C code designed for windows, so it probably will run.
Maybe I will be of more help if you copy what you get on the npm installation.
have you tried using Git Bash? That is what I used for the most part as well and acts more unix like. If you're on a PC, an alternative is using ConEMU as they give you a shell that is unix like. Just wanted to give you some options if you're still running into trouble, I know this is super late :)
I am trying to install python2.7 over given python2.6 on a web server. I am stuck at the last step trying to link new python install over the old one.
The steps I have done:
Downloaded and extracted Python 2.7
configured with --prefix=$HOME/.local
make install
What I don't get is how to link by making changes in .bashrc (and what changes to make). I looked over all the places but most the answers are not generic.
Also, I have to install couple of other lovely python stuff, like pip virtualenv, django, nltk over this. A little help on that would be too great.
Ok, without root privileges you will have to have all the python stuff and your code in your home folder. And also you won't be able to configure your nginx/apache/whatever http server you use. Does not seem like a good idea for production, but for development - sure, why not.
This means you will need to install python in your home folder. You can download and compile, but probably the simplest way to do so is pyenv - https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv. Some reading is required to understand its concepts, but it is much simpler than fiddling with manual compiling if you are not sure what you're doing.
Also it kinda replaces virtualenv, but you can still have it if you want. And of course, it all works with your non-root user. There is an installer that doesn't require root either.
Apologies if the following isn't very clear and is very item specific, but I'm just very confused with what to do next and can't find any answers on google.
I am trying to install beschulz's WAV2PNG software on a Ubuntu server.
I've followed the directions on the page to get the required software :
apt-get install make g++ libsndfile1-dev libpng++-dev libpng12-dev libboost-program-options-dev
Which seems to have installed correctly, but next it's saying that I need to build it and I can't work out how to do this.
The docs say :
cd build
make all
Which i've tried but I just get :
-bash: cd: build: No such file or directory
This is the first time i've had to "build" anything after downloading it so any help would be greatly appreciated.
You are supposed to have performed a git clone on the Github repository.
you#vnix$ git clone https://github.com/beschulz/wav2png.git
.... stuff happens ...
you#vnix$ cd wav2png/build
you#vnix$ make all
... lots and lots of stuff happens ...
If this is your first time, things are likely to fail in interesting and/or intriguing ways. You probably want to make sure you are in an environment where you can scroll back and look at error messages and copy/paste them into Google or a new question (tmux, screen, and Emacs ansi-term are all popular alternatives, although a terminal with a big enough scrollback buffer and reasonable keyboard bindings to navigate it would be a good start already).
I'm following a tutorial from this website: Monetizing Game Apps by Todd Perkins
Access to all the files are not required for the questions I'm asking. I have done research on how to solve this on stack overflow and discussed it below
I have followed the tutorial and it has asked me to:
Install Cygwin
Download Cocos2dx-2.0.1(I know this is old, but I don't want to deal with deprecating problems until I'm more confident with the environment)
Run create-android-project.bat(works fine).
Open project I created- and move to proj.android and run build_native.sh in Cygwin.
Then I open up cygwin.bat, navigate to myproject/proj.android and run ./build_native.sh
Problem:
$ ./build_native.sh
Using prebuilt externals
./build_native.sh: line 74: /cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r9c-windows-x86_64/ndk-build: No such file or directory
So I looked into the files and double-checked my changes:
In create-android-project.bat I modified the following variables:
set _CYGBIN=c:\Cygwin64\bin
set _ANDROIDTOOLS=c:\Program Files (x86)\ADT\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\sdk\tools
set _NDKROOT=c:\android-ndk-r9c-windows-x86_64
Check line 74 that cygwin complained about in myproject/proj.android/build_native.sh:
echo "Using prebuilt externals"
$NDK_ROOT/ndk-build -C $GAME_ANDROID_ROOT \
NDK_MODULE_PATH=${COCOS2DX_ROOT}:${COCOS2DX_ROOT}/cocos2dx/platform/third_party/android/prebuilt
Double check what NDK_ROOT is pointing to in build_native.sh:
NDK_ROOT=/cygdrive/c/android-ndk-r9c-windows-x86_64
COCOS2DX_ROOT=/cygdrive/c/Users/DarkRaveDev/Documents/cocos2d-x-2.0.1
GAME_ROOT=$COCOS2DX_ROOT/chaara
GAME_ANDROID_ROOT=$GAME_ROOT/proj.android
RESOURCE_ROOT=$GAME_ROOT/Resources
My Research:
I surfed SO for quite some time and tried the following from SO:
EOL Conversion in Notepad++ so LF works for windows for the build_native.sh
An answer somewhere said I need to install the make package when installing cygwin.. I'm not getting this problem, so I'm not sure if this applies.
I have searched many ways to set path - NDK_ROOT
QUESTION:
What exactly am I doing wrong? Is it the variables are badly set or is cygwin not properly installed?
Thank you to everyone who commented! :)
This is what I ended up doing.
Reinstall Cygwin : When you get to the select packages to install page, make sure to find DEVEL and change the install action from default to install. I know its a lot of megs but it's easier than combing through it. If you do want to comb through it and get only what you need, I suggest using this website: Installing a c++ compiler for windows
Make your paths simple : Like user2359247 suggested.
Finally run the create_android.bat, open your android project. Keep the path location of your build_native.sh file in mind and open your cygwin terminal.
Navigate to the path in cygwin, and run the file with sh build_native.sh: At this point everything was quite smooth sailing.
NOTE:
Also I kept using my version of ndk which is r9 instead of r8 in the tutorial, it didn't give me any hiccups.
Thank you SO!
I am trying to install this toolkit for 3 hours.... first, for Python.. I gave up. Then for MATLAB...
http://web.mit.edu/lpsolve/doc/MATLAB.htm
It says something about installation(and I read everything at all other websites), but I have no idea of what it says...
Why is it so complicated? It is not like windows, in which for everything I want to install, double-clicking 'setup' or 'install' file on the .zip file installed everything I need.
I am so confused and distressed.. Please help me...
I do not know a bit about Ubuntu, so please explain to me which files I should download(there are a lot of files but I do not know what to download...), and how I could install it with what commands.
Thank you.
