You can be anywhere, just be aware of your CR/LF settings and stay in one world. I use the automatic mount point that WSL creates at /mnt/c so for this sample I'm at /mnt/c/Users/scott/Desktop/RailsonAzure which maps to a folder on my Windows desktop.

When you're developing on both Windows and Linux at the same time, you'll likely want to keep your code in one place or the other, not both. You will likely also want either PostgresSQL or MySQL or Mongo, or you can use a Cloud DB like Azure DocumentDB. You can change the versions as appropriate. This build/install step takes a while and hits the disk a lot, FYI.Īt this point I've got Ruby, now I need Rails, as well as NodeJs for the Rails Asset Pipeline. Here's a screenshot mid-process on my SurfaceBook. ~$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build/bin:$PATH"' > ~/.bashrc ~$ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' > ~/.bashrc ~$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' > ~/.bashrc

Once you have Ubuntu on Windows 10 installed you can quickly install " rbenv" like this within Bash.
#Ctrl paint joytokey update
Rails and Ruby folks can apt-get update and apt-get install ruby, they can install rbenv or rvm as they like. Developing on Ruby on Rails on Windows 10 using WSL Ruby on Rails development is great on Windows 10 because you've Windows 10 handling the "windows" UI part and bash and Ubuntu handling the shell.Īfter I set it up I want to git deploy my app to Azure, easily. Even more, when you go to deploy your Rails app you're likely using a Linux host so you may run into differences between operating systems.įast forward to today and Windows 10 has the Ubuntu-based " Linux Subsystem for Windows" (WSL) and the native bash shell which means you can run real Linux elf binaries on Windows natively without a Virtual Machine.so you should do your Windows-based Rails development in Bash on Windows. There have been some heroic efforts by a number of volunteers to get Rails working with projects like RailsInstaller, but native modules and dependencies almost always cause problems. Most of the Ruby/Rails folks are Mac and Linux users and haven't focused on getting Rails to be usable for daily development on Windows. Running Ruby on Rails on Windows has historically sucked. I mapped left and right to PageUp and PageDown so now I can control PowerPoint! For example, here I'm clicking in on the stick and I can see that's Button 12. Hold down a button on your Joystick/Joycon to see what it maps to.

If you keep using it (even though you can use it free) it's Shareware, you can buy JoyToKey for just $7. We need to map JoyStick Actions to Key Presses.

You can add them both if you like! They show up like Game Controllers to Windows:Īh, but these are Joysticks.

Rachel White reminded me that they are BlueTooth! So why not pair them to your machine and map some of their buttons to keystrokes?įirst, hold the round button on the black side of the controller between the SL and SR buttons, then go into Windows Settings and Add Bluetooth Device. However, I've also got this wonderful Nintendo Switch and two Jo圜on controllers. Michael Samarin has a great app called KeyPenX that lets you use a Surface pen to control PowerPoint! I usually use a Logitech Presentation Clicker to control PowerPoint presentations, but I'm always looking for new ways.
