How to install java and .Net progmatically on windows? - automation

I am looking for ways to automatically install java JDK and .Net version on Windows VM. One of the solutions I have found is
https://chocolatey.org/
Other I have found is using silent installer but I am exploring other ways. My initial approach was to use docker but the requirement is as such that I need to install it on VM

I installed it using silent install through batch file

GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is not detected?

I have followed these steps while installing the gnome extension of chromium in Ubuntu 20.04.
Installed the GNOME Shell integration extension on chromium.
As per their documentation ran a command to install chrome-gnome-shell
sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell
Still while loading the gnome-extensions page, it is showing error that "Although GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is not detected. Refer documentation for instructions about installing connector."
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue in steps?
FYI: starting from Ubuntu 21.10 Firefox comes as a default browser and as a snap, as well as Chromium. And has the same problem: GNOME Shell integration shows the same error.
Other ways to install the extensions are:
gnome-extensions install --force your_downloaded_extension.zip
unzip your_downloaded_extension.zip ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
Probably this is because you are running Chromium as a Snap. There is an open bug in Launchpad about this, that appears to still be happening in Ubuntu 20.04 (still happening in Ubuntu 22.04):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1741074
The easiest solution would probably be to use another web browser, not in a Snap.
I experienced this issue when upgrading from Ubuntu 21.04 to Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish), where Firefox was installed via snap - supposedly the sandboxing made it unable to detect.
My resolution (which brought back gnome extensions connector being seen) was to install firefox manually by debian package via the directions in https://balintreczey.hu/blog/firefox-on-ubuntu-22-04-from-deb-not-from-snap/ . You may also be able to install the direct tarball following directions in https://fostips.com/install-latest-firefox-non-esr-debian/
Another option is to use a native extension manager as suggested in https://haydenjames.io/ubuntu-22-04-install-gnome-extensions-manager-workaround/
I solved using Chrome and not more Firefox for extensions.gnome.
(I use Chrome just for manage this extension)
If you still got problems, you could simply do this:
sudo apt-get reinstall chrome-gnome-shell
For me it did work after all, but just by using another browser - Firefox
I'm using Ubuntu 20.10 and I also had this issue. I was using Chromium but I found that Chromium dropped support for this, therefore I installed Firefox from the software. This did not work either.
The fix was to uninstall Firefox from software and install Firefox from ubuntu software with the source: ubuntu-groovy-updates-main
I installed the browser extension on there and it worked perfectly.
Aevin J He gave the answer if you're on ubuntu 21.10. it really matters whom you install it from. don't use the default one, use the one with most reviews

Redhawk IDE will not display Components

When I launch the REDHAWK IDE via Eclipse, I cannot see the installed components (SigGen, fastFilter, etc). I can see the components just fine if I use the command line to create a project. I'm convinced it has to be a path or variable issues, but I just don't know what to reconfigure.
I'm using REDHAWK Version 2.1.0 and on CentOS7
OSSIEHOME is set to the /usr/local/redhawk/core
SDRROOT is set to /var/redhawk/sdr
Any suggestions?
I found a solution by reinstalling and including every Redhawk package that I could find using "yum list redhawk*"
I have the same problem and it turns out I was using a Java version higher than 8 which is not supported by RedHawk. Make sure you use Java 8 to launch the IDE otherwise it does not work. Submitted a DR but because JDK8 still supported they do not feel the need to fix it.
I followed the official installation instructions for RedHawk 2.3.0 on Centos 7.9 and had this same issue, I fixed it by opening a terminal in the Redhawk installation directory and running
sudo yum install redhawk-basic-components-2.3.0-5.el7.x86_64.rpm
After which the components appeared in the IDE without a restart

How do I download SCP and ssh on Cygwin?

I have downloaded Cygwin on windows 8 and use it for python scripts.
How do I get SCP and ssh on Cygwin without having to use WinSCP and Putty?
When you run the Cygwin installer again to install new packages, you might notice that searching for "scp" produces no results.
It's actually part of the "openssh" package.
Whenever you want to add new packages to Cygwin you run the setup.exe file again as if installing from scratch. The Cygwin setup can be downloaded here.
then search for the openssh package and install it. (remember you can do this even after having it installed, it'll just add what you need)
Nowadays, you do not need Cygwin to get Windows OpenSSH build.
You can use Win32-OpenSSH, what is Microsoft official build of OpenSSH for Windows. On Windows 10 version 1803 or newer, you already have OpenSSH built-in. On older versions of Windows 10, it can be installed as an optional Windows feature. On older versions of Windows, you can just extract the scp.exe, ssh.exe and libcrypto.dll from a .zip (latest release), no installation is need.
Another way is to install Windows subsystem for Linux. The OpenSSH sftp and ssh are included.

How to install recent mono and monodevelop?

I tried to install mono and monodevelop on centOS 6.3.
After many hours I was able to install mono but failed with monodevelop.
I'm really astonished how difficult and time consuming it is, to get a recent mono/monodevelop version on linux installed.
Is there nobody willing to write and maintain an install/compile tutorial to get the most recent mono/monodevelop/monodata/ASP.NET MVC/... version on the major linux distributions (Centos, Ubuntu, Suse, Debian) installed?
I think many people developing on Windows (with limited linux knowledge) would like to start using mono, if the boarding hurdle would be somehow lower.
It may be the most important to make Mono more used and more visible.
Please, write a tested tutorial (script) for compiling mono/monodevelop.
Thank you!
I have created a project on Open Build Service, which produces builds of the latest MonoDevelop 4.0.10 for Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Fedora.
see https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:tpokorra:mono
For installation instructions with apt-get or yum, see:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:tpokorra:mono&package=monodevelop-opt
I hope this will increase the usage of MonoDevelop on Linux Desktop environments.
Monodevelop 4.
If you use any *buntu. Check this.
"You can open up the terminal and install it via the following:
1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:keks9n/monodevelop-latest
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install monodevelop-latest"

Xamarin should be doing a better job at publishing the linux packages in a one-click manner. I don't care what linux distro (SuSE, RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu etc) - just pick any one as the supported one and publish for it. It seemed that it used to be SuSE but even that has old packages as seen within Zypper/YaST.
Update Mono framework
Having said that, to update the Mono framework itself, without letting go of the package managers try this. This will work as long as the project dutifully publishes the RPMs. You don't want to build from source since it's a more fickle process and the setup distracts from your real objective (i.e. develop).
Obviously, please replace the URL below to what will be latest by the time you're reading this.
mkdir mono-rpms
cd mono-rpms
wget --reject "index.html*" -nd -r -e robots=off --no-parent http://download.mono-project.com/archive/3.2.3/linux/x64/
sudo zypper install *rpm
Update MonoDevelop (the IDE)
Timotheus Pokorra's answer indicates he's filling in some of the usability void left by Xamarin (Thanks Timotheus!!). You can install MonoDevelop via
http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:tpokorra:mono&package=monodevelop-opt
Note that on SuSE I get the error
Problem: nothing provides liberation-mono-fonts needed by mono-libgdiplus-opt-3.0.12-7.1.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install monodevelop-opt-4.0.12-5.2.x86_64
Solution 2: break mono-libgdiplus-opt-3.0.12-7.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
I (very reluctantly) selected to break the dependency. Note that I already had liberation-fonts (via sudo zypper install liberation-fonts). I don't know if its the same/different as liberation-mono-fonts. Anyway, hope Timotheus fixes it when he has a moment.
I'm not sure if you've already seen this, but this may help:
http://www.mono-project.com/Parallel_Mono_Environments
The most common problem that new developers have when coming to Linux from systems like Windows is not properly setting up their environment variables and so when they do the standard ./configure && make && make install routine, when it involves a number of source packages (like Mono does), any package that depends on the core package won't pick up the correct location for that base package.
Your question really doesn't explain what parts you found confusing or difficult so it's hard to address those issues.
For people unfamiliar with setting up Linux systems, it may be easier if you just go with a system like Ubuntu which has fairly recent pre-built packages (although not the latest - I don't think any Linux system keeps up with Mono releases) rather than wrestling with the learning curve of how to build everything yourself.
It is confirmed that in the near future Xamarin will support Linux and provide binaries (mono and mainline applications) for Debian and Centos derivatives, and their are already packages for Debian and Centos derivatives for technical preview. So cheers and no more pain of compiling and even parallel mono installaions.It can not get more easy than this. Check here

Creating a Mono binary install package for CentOS 5.2

I'm new to Linux but have to port a asp.net app to Linux platform. (CentOS 5.2)
I downloaded the mono source files and manually build them on my dev box, because there's no aviable Binary package for CentOS 5.2 (almost the same as RedHat), the app works well on the dev box.
The next step is to setup the production server, which has minimal libraries installed.
My question is... how to make the Mono binary files into a install package so I don't need to download and build them in the production server.
(My dev box is the same configuration as the production one)
I have tried to copy all mono related files into the server, but with no luck... May I missed some files or some settings...
You can still get binary RPMS here
EDIT:
Recently, Mono announced support for RHEL/CentOS. You can get packages from them here.
