I am trying to set up exercism cli but when I type exercism configure into cmd it asks for a token. I believe that I have found and copied this but I don't know how to add the token to the command

@AndyTRichardson

Got it!

@NobbZ

@AndyTRichardson Happy to hear that you are ready to go! If you continue to have problems, feel free to ask!

Hello everyone! I am not sure what my problem is, but I could not install exercism in any way in my machine (mac 64bit)

I tried through brew (but had an error installing brew) and I have tried doing it manually, but it still says command not found when I try running it. I am not sure what to try here. If anyone can help me, I'd be super happy ^_^

@kotp

@lcastroemello what directions are you following for your installation? The Interactive CLI walkthrough may be helpful here. https://exercism.io/cli-walkthrough

Livia de Castro e Mello

@lcastroemello

Hello Victor! Thank you so much, I found out I was skipping a step on the manual installation here and it worked. Thank you for the walkthrough

Victor Goff

@kotp

Glad to hear that it worked for you. That walkthrough link is availble at the bottom of the exercism web page, if you ever need it again.

hi, i'm brand new to all of this and am trying to download and use exercism on linux. I've downloaded and extracted the files but when am attempting to move them into ~/bin, I get "exercism: no such file or directory"

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

@m73382846 are you in the correct location where you have extracted the tarball to?

m73382846

@m73382846

I'm honestly not sure

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

Then make that sure

m73382846

@m73382846

I've extracted to the downloads folder as well as extracting to folders on hard drive. i'll run the find command for exercism and it won't find it; running locate command shows that it's showing up in the downloads folder.

i've followed the CLI walkthrough and keep getting stuck at moving the exectuable

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

locate is using an index which might be out of date, find scans actual drive content. So if you can't find the unpacked binary anymore, then you'll probably need to redownload

m73382846

@m73382846

have tried redownloading :(

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

And then you have unpacked? How?

m73382846

@m73382846

i've been following the instructions in the cli walkthrough step by step; have tried both right clicking on the download and selecting "extract here" as well as running the cmd line prompt

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

What happens then? What do you observe to be changed on your disk?

m73382846

@m73382846

there's a new file created in the downloads folder called exercism-linux-64bit, that's the only change

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

Then please run file exercism-linux-64bit from the download folder. I doubt its a file though, but a folder containing the exercism binary and some shell completion scripts.

Or it is actually exercism-linux-64bit.tar because you only extracted from the gzip layer…

m73382846

@m73382846

just got it to work.lol. thank you

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

Happy to hear that! Have fun solving exercises!

@peropeanut_twitter

When trying to configure my exercism with my token i get a timeout...Im assuming its because im behind our office-proxy

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

Then make sure you have configured your proxy correctly using HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables.

pero

@peropeanut_twitter

Ive tried doing that, still the same (Windows 10 )

Alright, it seems i had to do it in the specific cmd line window, worked now..Thank you

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

Well, of course you have. This is how environment variables work, they'll never affect siblings only children processes and itself.

Usually you should set them system wide.

noerrm

@noerrm

Hi, I cannot use the exercism commands in the command line because I am behind a corporate proxy. I set the proxy in the Windows 10 environment variables. The error is "[Get https://api.exercism.io/v1/ping: proxyconnect tcp: net/http: TLS handshake timeout]".

Regarding the previous messages, I set the proxy and https proxy as system variables.

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

It seems as if its TLS timeout takes to much time. This timeout isn't configurable currently.

@mapnhike

just signed up for exercism as a newbie looking to learn javascript. Have node installed v10.16.3 ; npm v6.9.0; and git v2.23.0 windows 1 - installed Jest 24.9 Babel 7.6 and ESLint v6.4. When I try to install exercism CLI and use the command "exercism configure with the tokens, i receive "bash: exercism: command not found" -

@mapnhike

troubleshooting and exited the command line (bash) restarted and tried again; - worked and received "You have configured the Exercism command line client" and acknowledges config dir, Token, Workspace, and API Base URL -

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

I'm glad to hear that you have sorted it out. Feel free to ask any question you might have next

@bmnn01co

guys

which langauge programming I should pick if I want find quickly a job

Victor Goff

@kotp

I would pick one in which you already have experience with. Otherwise, find one that is used in your area of expertise to solve problems in that area, and learn that language.

@uMaDe132

Hi, im having problems installing the exercism to the $PATH, can anyone help me?

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

@bmnn01co totally depends on what you already know, where you live, if you are willing/able to move for your job, if you accept remote positions or want only work remote, etc. If you were living in Hamburg, my bet were Java or PHP if you have prior knowledge in either. Or moving to somewhere outside of Germany if you haven't studied… Finding the first position without having succesfully studied is hard here…

@uMaDe132 sure. What error do you see?

I cannot install properly exorcism

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

Hello @crisanlucid, this is quite a common problem if you have downloaded the wrong archive, please double check if it was the correct one and matches your OS and CPU architecture.

@nonononahnah_gitlab

Hi, I have messed up the first step, help would be appreciated.

Norbert Melzer

@NobbZ

@nonononahnah_gitlab! I'm not sure what step you are talking about, as steps are different per operating system, but usually the first thing to do is downloading…

@nonononahnah_gitlab

Ah, ok. That was probably the thing I messed up first. Which one do I need to dl for my Manjaro?

then I tried the steps as described, building a directory
