  • Install the AWS CLI with virtualenv on Gentoo

    First download virtualenv:

    wget -O virtualenv-15.0.3.tar.gz https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/archive/15.0.3.tar.gz

    Extract virtualenv:

    tar xvf virtualenv-15.0.3.tar.gz

    Create the environment:

    python3 virtualenv-15.0.3/virtualenv.py --system-site-packages ~/awscli-ve/

    Alternatively, you can use the -p option to specify a version of Python other than the default:

    python3 virtualenv-15.0.3/virtualenv.py --system-site-packages -p /usr/bin/python3.4 ~/awscli-ve

    Activate your new virtual environment:

    source ~/awscli-ve/bin/activate

    Install the AWS CLI into your virtual environment:

    (awscli-ve)~$ pip install --upgrade awscli

    To exit your virtualenv:

    deactivate

  • Install OneDrive Free Client on Gentoo without Root Permission

    OneDrive Free Client is “a complete tool to interact with OneDrive on Linux”.

    Install the D language compiler:

    curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s dmd

    Run the full source command provided by the output of the above install script.

    Download OneDrive Free Client’s source:

    git clone https://github.com/skilion/onedrive.git

    Change to the source directory:

    cd onedrive

    Use the following command to edit the prefix defined in Makefile:

    sed -i 's|/usr/local|/home/username|g' Makefile

    Compile and install OneDrive Free Client:

    make && make install

    Deactivate the source command:

    deactivate

    Add ~/bin to your PATH so that you can run binaries in ~/bin without specifying the path. Ignore this step if you have performed it for a different program.

    echo "PATH=\$HOME/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

    You can now run OneDrive Free Client with onedrive. To run it in the background, you can use:

    screen -dmS onedrive onedrive -m

    Run the following command to create a sync list, which let onedrive only syncs specific directories:

    vi ~/.config/onedrive/sync_list

    In sync_list (one directory per line):

    Apps/Datasets-1/
Datasets-Prepare/
