Scoop package is not getting installed despite multiple restart - Windows 7

[ranjit-exalt]

When I am running bootstrap.sh in windows 7, It is asking to restart terminal twice to use scoop. I restarted terminal multiple times, it doesn't work and showing the same message whenever I run "bootstrap.sh". I even restarted my windows a couple of times, but no luck.

Its working fine for other OS (Win 10, Mac and Linux)

@ranjit-exalt How do we know that Scoop is not installed? The message above indicates success. Have you tried to run Iris after running the bootstrap script?

@mwobensmith There is no scoop folder present in windows 7. So I understood no scoop installed. For my Windows 10 machine, I can see scoop folder here C:\Users\user_name\scoop.

I am unable to activate the virtual environment so iris won't run. Attaching screenshot for your reference:

My Windows 7 machine is currently down, so I am not able to test this myself. However, what can we do to get scoop installed on your system without using the bootstrap script?

Lines 19 and 20 of bootstrap/win_bootstrap.sh are supposed to install scoop. Let's try to run these manually:

    powershell -Command "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -scope CurrentUser"
    powershell -Command "iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')" 

Then, see if the scoop folder has been created. If this does not work, we can use the steps from their web site.

@mwobensmith : I tried to run lines 19 and 20 manually but no luck. So as suggested, I followed steps given at scoop.sh website. It worked. After scoop creation, I repeated "sh bootstrap.sh". It installed everything other than pip3.7. I was getting this error:

There is an open ticket ( #626 ) for the same issue so I followed the solution given there. This suggests modifying bootstrap/win_bootstrap.sh as python 3.8 was getting installed with the command "scoop install python" hence pip3.7 wasn't working. So after modifying changes as per (#628 ) pull request, I reinstalled scoop (uninstall -> install again). Python 3.7.5 got installed but pip issue was still there with a new error message:

I removed everything (scoop and iris_firefox) and repeated the process but no luck. Please help.

@ranjit-exalt What version of Windows 7 are you on? Have you upgraded to SP1? Can you perform a Windows Update to make sure that you're on the latest versions of all system software?

What version of Powershell are you running? You can find out by typing this:
powershell -Command "(Get-Host).Version"

More things to try:
python --version
python3 --version
python37 --version
pip --version
scoop --version

Issue resolved. Marking it closed.

The recommended steps to deal such issue:

1. Create scoop by running Lines 19 and 20 of bootstrap/win_bootstrap.sh
   powershell -Command "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -scope CurrentUser"
   powershell -Command "iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')"
2. Once scoop folder created, run bootstrap.sh
3. If python or pipenv issue is occurring, remove scoop "scoop uninstall scoop", delete scoop folder (if it is still there). install scoop once again.
4. If any issue with pipenv issue is happening despite python and pip installed successfully, check the path variable. Make sure the following paths are there:
   C:\Users<username>\scoop\apps\python37\current\scripts;
   C:\Users<username>\scoop\apps\python37\current
5. Make sure you are pointing to the dev branch while installing scoop and creating a virtual environment. Else you may face issues like python or pip installation issue, mozlog version mismatch, etc.
