Windows install tutor docker-compose error

Tutor
1

Hi,
got win 10, python 3.8, pip, lybyaml, docker (+wsl 2) and docker-compose. So, tutor local quickstart gets an error:

docker-compose -f C:\Users\administrator\AppData\Local\tutor\tutor\env\local\docker-compose.yml -f C:\Users\administrator\AppData\Local\tutor\tutor\env\local\docker-compose.prod.yml --project-name tutor_local stop

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

docker.errors.DockerException: Error while fetching server API version: (2, 'CreateFile', 'The system cannot find the file specified.')
[13832] Failed to execute script docker-compose

Looks like the problem in relative paths (…/… etc.) in docker-compose.yml:

  mongodb-permissions:
    image: docker.io/overhangio/openedx-permissions:13.1.0
    command: ["999", "/data/db"]
    restart: on-failure
    volumes:
      - ../../data/mongodb:/data/db

Any idea how to fix it?

My bad, just forget launch Docker Desktop

So, can you confirm that Tutor works with your Windows setup? Are there any Windows-specific instructions or did it work out of the box?

4

Yes, on Windows 10 1903 or 21H develop’s setup works well with all prerequisites are satisfied (python 3.8 and pip, wsl 2, docker desktop and PyYAML-5.3.1-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl by Index of /download/pyyaml/)

5

Would you be willing to write a tutorial on how to run tutor on windows? I would really love to add such a tutorial to the docs.

6

Yes, I will gladly do it, but a little bit later

7

Done! So, hope this will be helpfull:
Windows 10 Tutor Installation

  1. Install WSL 2
    For Windows 10 2004+ in PowerShell with admin rigths:
	wsl --install

For Windows 10 1903+ (build 18362+) use Microsoft guide [Manual installation steps for older versions of WSL | Microsoft Docs]

  1. Install Docker Desktop [Docker Desktop for Mac and Windows | Docker]
    Requirements: Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise/Home (18363+)

  2. Install Python 3.8 [Python Release Python 3.8.0 | Python.org]
    Check “add to PATH” and “pip” option

  3. Install PyYAML
    Download PyYAML-5.3.1-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl or any for you python version and architecture from Index of /download/pyyaml/
    Then in CMD with admin rights:

		cd C:\path\to\downloads\
		pip install PyYAML-5.3.1-your-version.whl

Note: use pip3 if you have python2 on your Windows
  1. Reboot

Now you can install Tutor from the Github repository [GitHub - overhangio/tutor: The docker-based Open edX distribution designed for peace of mind]:
Download ZIP rep and unpack them
Then in CMD with admin rights:

		cd C:\path\to\downloads\tutor-master 
		pip install -e .

Note: don’t forget launch Docker Desktop (with engine started successfully) until use tutor in CMD

Now I faced up with mismatch of versions pyyaml (kubernetes 21.7.0 needs pyyaml>=5.4.1). So, we need change link for pyyaml and packet version in this tutorial:
4. Install PyYAML
Download PyYAML‑5.4.1‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl or any for you python version and architecture from Python Extension Packages for Windows - Christoph Gohlke
