Windows poetry add to path

Poetry is a package manager for Python that helps developers manage their dependencies and projects. If you’re using Pycharm as your Python IDE and Windows with WSL2 as your operating system, you may encounter some issues when configuring Poetry environments in Pycharm. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to configure Poetry environments in Pycharm on Windows + WSL2.

Method 1: Use Pycharm Interpreter from WSL2

1. Open your project in Pycharm.

2. Click on File > Settings > Project: <project_name> > Python Interpreter.

3. Click on the gear icon and select Add....

4. Select SSH Interpreter.

5. In the Configure Remote Python Interpreter dialog, click on the SSH Credentials button.

6. In the SSH Credentials dialog, click on the + button and add your WSL2 credentials.

7. Once added, select the WSL2 interpreter from the list and click OK.

8. In the Configure Remote Python Interpreter dialog, select the Python interpreter path option and enter the path to your Python interpreter in WSL2.

   Example: /usr/bin/python3

9. Click OK to close the dialog and save the interpreter.

10. Now, you can create a new Poetry environment by opening the terminal in Pycharm and running the following command:

    poetry env use /usr/bin/python3

11. Activate the Poetry environment by running the following command:

    source /path/to/poetry/envs/<env_name>/bin/activate

12. You can now install packages using Poetry and they will be installed in the activated environment.

    Example:

13. To deactivate the environment, run the following command:

That’s it! You have now configured Poetry environments in Pycharm with Windows + WSL2 using Pycharm Interpreter from WSL2.

Method 2: Use Windows Path for Poetry

Using Windows Path for Poetry

1. Install Poetry on your Windows machine by running the following command in your terminal:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python -

1. Install WSL2 and set it up on your Windows machine.

2. Open Pycharm and create a new project.

3. Open the terminal in Pycharm and activate the virtual environment by running the following command:

poetry shell

1. Install any packages you need in your project by running the following command:

poetry add <package-name>

1. To use the Windows path for Poetry, you need to add the following line to your .bashrc or .zshrc file:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.poetry/bin"

1. Restart your terminal or run the following command to apply the changes:

source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.zshrc

1. In Pycharm, go to File > Settings > Project > Project Interpreter.

2. Click on the gear icon and select Add.

3. Select Poetry Environment and click OK.

4. Choose the virtual environment you created earlier and click OK.

5. Pycharm will now use the virtual environment created by Poetry.

6. To verify that everything is working correctly, run the following command in your terminal:

which python

1. The output should show the path to the Python executable in the virtual environment.

2. Congratulations! You have successfully configured Poetry environments in Pycharm with Windows + WSL2 using the Windows path for Poetry.

Method 3: Use Remote Interpreter from WSL2

Step 1: Install Pycharm and WSL2

If you have not installed Pycharm and WSL2, you can follow the official documentation to install them.

Step 2: Create a Poetry Environment in WSL2

Open a terminal in WSL2 and create a new poetry environment:

poetry new myproject
cd myproject
poetry shell

Step 3: Install Pycharm WSL Remote Interpreter Plugin

In Pycharm, go to File -> Settings -> Plugins, search for WSL Remote Interpreter and install the plugin.

Step 4: Configure Remote Interpreter

Go to File -> Settings -> Project -> Python Interpreter, click on the gear icon and select Add.... In the Add Python Interpreter window, select SSH Interpreter and fill in the following information:

• Host: localhost
• Port: 22
• Username: your WSL2 username
• Auth type: Key pair
• Private key file: path to your WSL2 private key file

Click on Test Connection to make sure the connection is successful. Then click on OK to save the interpreter.

Step 5: Configure Project Interpreter

Go to File -> Settings -> Project -> Python Interpreter, click on the gear icon and select Add.... In the Add Python Interpreter window, select SSH Interpreter and select the interpreter you just configured in the previous step.

Step 6: Configure Poetry Environment

Go to File -> Settings -> Project -> Project Interpreter, select the interpreter you just configured, and click on the gear icon. Select Show All... and click on the + icon to add a new path. Enter the path to your poetry environment in WSL2, for example:

/home/yourusername/myproject/.venv/bin/python

Click on OK to save the path.

Step 7: Activate Poetry Environment

In Pycharm, open a terminal and activate the poetry environment:

source /path/to/your/project/.venv/bin/activate

Step 8: Install Dependencies

Install the dependencies for your project using poetry:

Step 9: Run Your Project

You can now run your project in Pycharm using the configured interpreter and poetry environment.

That’s it! You have successfully configured Poetry environments in Pycharm with Windows + WSL2 using remote interpreter.
