I'm doing an internship (= yes I'm a newbie). My supervisor told me to create a conda environment. She passed me a log file containing many packages.
A quick qwant.com search shows me how to create envs via the
conda env create --file env_file.yaml
The file I was give is however NOT a yaml file it is structured like so:
# packages in environment at /home/supervisors_name/.conda/envs/pancancer:
#
# Name Version Build Channel
_libgcc_mutex 0.1 main
bedtools 2.29.2 hc088bd4_0 bioconda
blas 1.0 mkl
bzip2 1.0.8 h7b6447c_0
The file contains 41 packages = 44 lines including comments above. For simplicity I'm showing only the first 7.
Appart from adding env name (see 2. below), is there a way to use the file as it is to generate an environment with the packages?
I ran the cmd using
conda env create --file supervisors.log.txt
SpecNotFound: Environment with requirements.txt file needs a name
Where in the file should I put the name?
alright, so, it seems that they give you the output of conda list rather than the .yml file produced by conda with conda env export > myenv.yml. Therefore you have two solutions:
You ask for the proper file and then proceed to install the env with conda built-in pipeline
If you do not have any access on the proper file, you could do one of the following:
i) Parse with python into a proper .yml file and then do the conda procedure.
ii) Do a bash script, downloading the packages listed in the file she gave you.
This is how I would proceed, personally :)
Because there is no other SO post on this error, for people of the future: I got this error just because I named my file conda_environment.txt instead of conda_environment.yml. Looks like the yml extension is mandatory.
I am trying to use Python to call a Google Cloud AI platform training API. The path to my service account key JSON file is "/Users/my_mac_username/service_account_key.json", and I added the export statement in the bash_profile file so that it looks like:
# Setting PATH for Python 3.8
# The original version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/Users/my_mac_username/service_account_key.json"
However, I still got the error:
google.auth.exceptions.DefaultCredentialsError: Could not automatically determine credentials.
Besides, I have google-cloud-sdk folder installed. I would like to know in which file I should set the environment variable. Thanks for your help!
Assuming your terminal shell is bash, you have your environment variable setup correctly. The new variable will not be available until you reopen the terminal or run source ~/.bash_profile in the current terminal.
If you are running zsh, add the export in your ~/.zshrc file.
To determine which shell you're currently running, use: echo $SHELL from the command line
I have an environment file named .env337_dev. I need to run this file to set the environment before running another command. How to run this file?
Inside the file, it contains several variables like this
export AB_HOME=/et/dev/abinitio/sit1/abinitio-V2 #/gcc3p32 # for 32-bit
export PATH=${AB_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
Apart from . ./.env337_devcommand which will run and set the environment, is there any other way to run this file ?
Are you looking for the user-specific .bashrc (bash is the default shell on RHEL 6) or a system-wide /etc/profile.d/<something>.sh? For the first, you would edit $HOME/.bashrc and append a line like . .env337_dev (it's still run before any "regular" command, because .bashrc is the Bash standard personal initialization file). Second option suggests that you use an absolute path.
If this doesn't answer your question, a more specific question and/or more details would be very helpful.
You tagged this ab-initio, so you should only be setting a very few environment variables, including:
export AB_HOME=<path-to-co>operating-system>
export PATH=$AB_HOME/bin:$PATH
If you are working with Ab Initio web applications:
export AB_APPLICATION_HUB=<path-to-application-hub>
export JAVA_HOME=<path-to-jdk>
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
and specific settings for different applications, e.g.
export AB_MHUB_HOME=<path-to-metadata-hub-installation>
Typically you put those into the file .profile in your home directory, which shells evaluate for interactive sessions.
I'm trying to extend my $PATH variable in git bash (MinGW shell) by adding the following to the file ~/.bashrc
PATH=$PATH':/c/Program Files/maven/apache-maven-3.2.5/bin'
After I did this and restarted the bash it seems like that the $PATH variable was extended like expected:
$ echo $PATH
MANY_OTHER_PATHS:/c/Program Files/maven/apache-maven-3.2.5/bin
But I still cannot execute the programms in the given directory:
$ mvn
bash: mvn: command not found
What went wrong here? How do I extend the PATH variable correctly?
Here are two ideas.
You can have your path with double quote mark.
export PATH=$PATH:"/C/Program Files (x86)/apache-maven-3.3.3/bin"
Or, You can also make symbolic link for the directory.
ln -s "/C/Program Files (x86)/apache-maven-3.3.3/bin" ./mvnbin
export PATH=$PATH:/your-path/mvnbin
It works for me in mingw32 environment.
I needed to add something to my Git Bash path permanently each time I open it. It was Meld.exe path which can be added with:
export PATH=$PATH:"/C/Program Files (x86)/Meld/lib"
In order to execute this command each bash session, you need a ~/.bashrc file. Check if it already exists or create it using notepad ~/.bashrc or touch ~/.bashrc.
You can check where it is with:
echo ~
Open it and add the command that adds the PATH (first command in this response).
I hope you found this useful.
According to this SO post, you need to escape Program Files with quotes. git-bash $PATH cannot parse windows directory with space
Add PATH in Git Bash Permanently | Windows Only
Just in case you are still wondering how to add a path permanently in git bash here is the step-by-step process for Windows users:
Create .bashrc in user's root folder using the below command. It will open notepad and ask you to create the file, click yes.
notepad ~/.bashrc
Put the directory you want to add as below, for more than 1 items repeat the same format in next line:
export PATH=$PATH:"/c/folder/folder/"
Save the file and relaunch the bash.
Next launch will give you a warning like WARNING: Found ~/.bashrc but no ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login or ~/.profile. but git bash will handle it by creating the required files.
SOME INSIGHTS
Git Bash doesn't fetch Window's environment PATH, it maintains its PATH separately in more like a Linux way.
You can run export PATH=$PATH:"/c/folder/folder/" in cmd to add a directory to path, but it will be only for the current session once you close the bash, it will be gone.
.bashrc is a shell script file that will be executed every time you launch a new git bash window. So you can add any type of bash command here. We simply added the export command to add our desired directory to PATH.
I was trying to set up a system similar to heroku where I would store secret keys in environmental variables and then access them from my rails app like this:
secret = ENV['EMAIL_PASSWORD']
I know heroku lets you do heroku config:add EMAIL_PASSWORD=secret, and I wanted to do something like that for my own ubuntu box running nginx and Passenger.
Should I add these variables as exports in .bashrc or .bash_login so that on system reboot these variables are automatically set?
I'm not sure when each of those files gets read in.
You can use dotenv gem which loads the .env file as environmental variables. You can generate the .env file for different environments, and need not be rather should not checked into your repository.
Keep in mind that nginx may not be running under the same environment as you are, and usually (pronounced "Apache") we add env-vars in the server config file via SetEnv. However, nginx doesn't have such a feature... nor does it need one, I believe.
sudo -E /usr/local/sbin/nginx
When running nginx for it to be aware of your own user env vars.
Or, check out the env command (see here):
env EMAIL_PASSWORD=secret
To answer your question, yes, you should use export statements in your shell config files.
This is documented in nginx. It removes all environment variables except TZ when running the workers. If you want to add an environment variable, add the following to the top of the nginx configuration:
# The top of the configuration usually has things like:
user user-name;
pid pid-file-name;
# Add to this:
env VAR1=value1;
env VAR2=value2;
# OR simply add:
env VAR1;
# To inherit the VAR1 from whatever you set in bash
The normal export or anything you do in bash has no guarantee of getting passed on to nginx, due to the way the init scripts are written (we don't know if they're using sudo with a clean environment, etc). So I'd rather put these in the nginx configuration file itself, rather than depending on the shell to do it.
Edit: Fix link
(this is probably a overkill, but maybe it'll be useful)
Some things to keep in mind:
Environment variables are somewhat public, and can be seen by other processes as easily as added an option to the ps(1) command (like ps e $$ in bash) or looking at /proc/*/environ, though both are restricted at least to the same user (or root) on modern systems. Don't rely on them being secret if you have another fairly easy option available.
~/.bashrc is the wrong place for environment variables, since they can be computed once at login in ~/.bash_login, ~/.bash_profile, or ~/.profile, depending on your usage, and passed down to all descendent shells. In contrast, ~/.bashrc actions tend to be recomputed on every shell invocation (unless explicitly disabled).
Putting bash code in the ~/.profile can confuse other sh-descendent shells and non-shell tools which try to read that file, so having the bash-specific ~/.bash_login or -_profile contain the bash-specific things, and using . ~/.profile for the more general things (LESS, EDITOR, VISUAL, LC_COLLATE, LS_COLORS, etc), is friendlier to the other tools.
Environment variables in ~/.profile should be in the old Bourne shell form (VAR=value ; export VAR). On Linux, this isn't usually critical, though on other Unixen this can be a big issue when an older version of "sh" tries to read them.
Some X sessions will only read ~/.profile, not ~/.bash_login or the others mentioned above. Some will look for a ~/.xsession file will need to be modified to have . $HOME/.profile if it doesn't already somehow.
System-wide settings would be put instead in something like /etc/profile.d/similar-to-heroku.sh. Note that the ".sh" is only present since the file will be used with "." or "source" - shell scripts should never have command-name extensions in any form of Unix/Linux.
Most environment variables get ditched when one sudos to root, as ybakos points out. Similar issues show up in crontabs, at jobs, etc. When in doubt, adding env | sort > /tmp/envvars or the like a suspect script can really help in debugging.
Be aware some distributions have shell startup scripts so contorted they end up actually defying the order given in the bash(1) manual page. Anytime you find a default user ~/.profile checking for $BASH or $BASH_VERSION, you may be in one of these, um..., "interesting" environments, and may have to read through them to figure out where the control flow goes (they should be using a bash-specific ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login, which includes the more generic ~/.profile by reference, thus letting the bash executable do the work instead of having to write $BASH checks in shell code).
~/.bash_profile (or ~/.bash_login) can certainly include . ~/.bashrc, but the environment variables belong in the ~/.bash_profile (if bash-specific) or the ~/.profile included from it (if you're using this mechanism and have envvars for everything else in there) as DeWitt says, just remember to put the . ~/.bashrc AFTER the .bash_profile's . ~/.profile and other environment variables, so that both login and all other invocations of the ~/.bashrc can rely on the envvars already being set. An Example ~/.bash_profile:
# .bash_profile
[ -r ~/.profile ] && . ~/.profile # envvars
[ -r ~/.bashrc ] && . ~/.bashrc # functions, per-tty settings, etc.
#---eof
The [ -r ... ] && ... works in any Bourne shell descendent and doesn't cause errors/aborts if the .profile is missing (I personally have a ~/.profile.d/*.sh setup as well, but this is left as an entirely optional exercise).
Note that bash only reads the first file of these three which it finds:
~/.bash_profile
~/.bash_login
~/.profile
...so once you have that one, the use of the other two is entirely under control of the user, from bash's perspective.
I put them in my nginx config, specifically in the server definition for the app using the passenger_env_var command:
server {
server_name www.foo.com;
root /webapps/foo/public;
passenger_enabled on;
passenger_env_var DATABASE_USERNAME foo_db;
passenger_env_var DATABASE_PASSWORD secret;
passenger_env_var SECRET_KEY_BASE the_secret_keybase;
}
This works for me. See the phusion passenger docs for more info.
I have a script in /usr/local/bin folder that sets some env vars and then executes Ruby. I define the path to Ruby in my (Apache, not Nginx) conf file to that file in /usr/local/bin.
example:
#!/bin/sh
# setup env vars here
export FOO=bar
export PATH_TO_FOO=/bar/bin
export PATH=$PATH:PATH_TO_FOO
# and execute Ruby with any arguments passed to this script
exec "/usr/bin/ruby" "$#"
You should read this response to another question, it will help:

EDITED :
Ok sorry i read it too fast, you can check how to save your ENV variables here :
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/set-environment-variable-linux/
If you use Nginx as server on your local computer, you can define your env variable into your nginx config file.
location / {
...
fastcgi_param EMAIL_PASSWORD secret; #EMAIL_PASSWORD = secret
...
}
I'm using rbenv as a version manager. Good solution to store environment variables for the project was installing the rbenv-vars plugin and putting them in .rbenv-vars file.
Here is a useful post:
Deploying app ENV variables with Rbenv, Passenger and Capistrano
For those battling this that are using RVM. Make sure that your default environments file is including your user's .bashrc and .profile files
file: $rvm_path/environments/default
to find the path run this command:
ls -lah `whereis rvm`/environments/default
add these two lines before the first line in that file:
source $HOME/.bashrc
source $HOME/.profile
The best place to keep env variables for your project is /etc/profile.d/YOUR_FILE.sh,
Here you can find the documentation which explains in details where to keep env variables for different scenarios.
In case anyone had the same type of question as I did, here's a nice little writeup about the different .bash* files: http://www.joshstaiger.org/archives/2005/07/bash_profile_vs.html
In summary:
For the most part:
.bash_profile is read when you log into the computer and .bashrc is read when you start a new terminal. For Mac OSX .bash_profile is read with every terminal window you start.
So, the recommended procedure is to source .bashrc from .bash_profile so all the variables are set when you login to the computer. Just add this to .bash_profile:
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
source ~/.bashrc
fi
You have to add the export lines into your .profile file under your home folder...
Environment variables are being set on login...
