For some of our modules, it's necessary to run them on linux or macOs. If you still want to work on windows, there is a pretty easy way to set up a linux interpreter in PyCharm. This will result in you code running on a ubuntu subsystem on your windows.

Installing Linux subsytem, configuring it for PyCharm

  • Install Ubuntu from the Microsoft Store
  • After installing, open your linux bash and type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
  • Now install python3.6:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.6
sudo apt install python3-pip
  • Now Open Pycharm Professional
  • go to File -> Settings -> Project: -> Project Interpreter -> click to gear next to the Project Interpreter: box -> choose "add" -> choose "WSL" on the left hand side -> Linux Distribution "Ubuntu",
  • Python interpreter path "/usr/bin/python3.6" -> click ok
  • now pycharm displays missing requirements: click "Install requirements"

Install SSGet

SSGet is one tool used in the collector that needs a linux environment. Installing SSGet is very easy in the linux subsystem. Open the ubuntu bash and enter:

git clone https://github.com/ginkgo-project/ssget.git
cd ssget
sudo make install
