[ferret_users] PyFerret on Windows?



Dear PyFerret users,

I'm helping a friend install PyFerret on Windows 10.

We are using the Windows Linux Subsystem (WLS).  It is Linux, and the usual miniconda method works and PyFerret runs.

- The problem is that WLS lacks X Window.  We are thinking of installing VcXsrv, as recommended in this Q&A session:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/993225/whats-the-easiest-way-to-run-gui-apps-on-windows-subsystem-for-linux-as-of-2018

Has anybody tried this?

- Another potential problem is: How do you copy the images generated with PyFerret to the Windows side?  Google search shows a lot of tips for the reverse (Windows -> Linux file copy) but I haven't found a definitive answer to the question of Linux -> Windows copy.

I've got an impression that WLS isn't a mature solution which just "works" out of the box.  I expected a similar level of "Linuxy" environment to that which macOS provides. . . .

Regards,
Ryo
