[PYTHON] How to add Anaconda Powershell Prompt to Windows Terminal?

Synopsis

In Windows 10, it is a story to add ʻAnaconda PowerShell Prompt to Windows Terminal. I wrote this article because I found only the ones that can add ʻAnaconda Prompt by searching.

Intro

For those who use [ʻAnaconda](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/glossary.html#anaconda), [Miniconda](https://docs.conda) Those who use .io / projects / conda / en / latest / glossary.html # miniconda) should also be using ʻAnaconda Prompt. Anyone who has been with Conda for a long time will want to use it in the latest environment.

[ʻAnaconda Promptnow supportsPowershell](https://qiita.com/yniji/items/668f805a72a6ced6a2bd), but it was still not perfect. This is because each time Powershell is started, the environment variable % PATH% for the condacommand is set and the(base) virtual environment is ʻactivate, which is a pain of waiting time.

However, nowadays, immediately after installing ʻAnaconda or Miniconda, shortcuts are prepared in advance for ʻAnaconda PowerShell Prompt and ʻAnaconda Prompt`, which is very convenient.

Under these circumstances, Windows Terminal has appeared. It's great that you can use different types of terminals as tabs in a single window. What's more, the startup time of PowerShell is shortened and it is stress-free.

You have no choice but to add ʻAnaconda Powershell Prompt`. So what should I do?

Setting method

First of all, the configuration file is like PowerShell,

$env:LocalAppData\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json

It is placed in. In the Cmd style,

%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json

It is placed in.

And add the following to this json file.

{
    "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44b9}",
    "name": "Anaconda Prompt",
    "startingDirectory" : "%HOMEPATH%",
    "commandline": "%userprofile%\\Documents\\PowerShell\\conda.cmd",
    "icon": "%SystemDrive%\\tools\\miniconda3\\Menu\\Iconleak-Atrous-PSConsole.ico",
    "hidden": false
}

Details of setting items

Use New-GUID forguid It seems that the value created by However, it is troublesome, so I just copied and pasted the Powershell one and changed one character.

I think name can be anything as long as you know yourself.

You can use whatever you like for ʻicon`, but I linked to the official icon.

commandline specifies to execute the following batch file.

%userprofile%\\Documents\\PowerShell\\conda.cmd

%windir%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -NoExit -Command "& 'C:\tools\miniconda3\shell\condabin\conda-hook.ps1' ; conda activate 'C:\tools\miniconda3' "

The contents of this batch file are just a copy-paste of the link destination string for PowerShell from the shortcut files in C: \ ProgramData \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Programs \ Anaconda3 (64-bit). ..

Looking at stackoverflow etc., " commandline is from the shortcut file of the start menu There are many things that say "copy and paste the link destination character string". But this doesn't work.

The properties of the shortcut file in C: \ ProgramData \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Programs \ Anaconda3 (64-bit) are as follows, but even if you copy and paste this and specify it in commandline, the command is normal. Because it will not be received as.

The part after -Command just got an error and it didn't work. That said, because how to receive Powershell arguments is too mysterious It may just not be understandable to me. Is there any way?

It was a waste of time, so I decided to write this string to a batch file and have it run.

Configuration file example

And finally, in my case, the settings were as follows.

json-doc:%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json

    "keybindings": []
}

result

The following is the state after the settings are reflected. What do you think.

If you want to know more about the settings, please see Editing Windows Terminal JSON Settings. please look.

environment

The environment in this article is as follows.

• Windows 10 Pro 1909
• Chocolatey v0.10.15
• Miniconda3 4.7.12.1
• Windows Terminal 0.11.1333.0

In my case, I use Chocolatey to install Miniconda3 and Windows Terminal. Even if you download it directly from the official website, you can go in almost the same way.

Excelsior!
