sm-local-configure only works with bash like installations - no Powershell/CMD support / Windows support at all

Hi there.
When trying to install your solution, I can't execute the configuration via sm-local-configure. As the script is written in bash, my Powershell will always try to open the file via Notepad instead of executing it.
Suggestions:
- Please provide the script in other shell languages as well
- Alternatively describe - in depth - what can be done instead of using this command
As of now, Windows users are excluded from using the plugin this way.
Update: Even if I install mingw64 and execute the command, it fails:
- Python3 isn't found (on windows installation, Python is now just called
python) - The execution fails at
sudoas this is no command for mingw64 installation
Please update documentation and highlight, that Windows is unsupported by the solution as of now.
Hi, @mdaehnert , thank you for the proposal. In future these scripts will be probably rewritten in pure Python so they will work in any shell and OS that is supported by Python setuptools.
So far, as a workaround, have you checked the "Is Windows supported?" question in the FAQ.md? Git Bash is the suggested alternative that worked pretty well the last time when I tested it. Does it help in your case?
@ivan-khvostishkov any update on a pure Python script implementation for local connection from Windows? Do we have a roadmap/release date for this?
I see some steps are reproducible using the proxy.py and manager.py but not 'connect' command
Hi, @FrancescoFarinola , apologies for it taking a while for the fix. While pure Python implementation is not yet in the plan, I'm preparing the new release with the updated instructions where these scripts are simplified and made compatible with Git Bash in Windows.
Released in the v2.2.0:
https://github.com/aws-samples/sagemaker-ssh-helper/releases/tag/v2.2.0
@mdaehnert Please, check if you can use it now (from GitBash), as described in the FAQ.
