WSL2 Setup [20/08/25]

First, execute these commands in Windows pwsh/cmd to ensure the proper features are turned on.

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

Then, update the [WSL 2 Linux kernel].

Build a web portfolio with Hugo (2020/11)

1. Introduction
2. Setup
3. Preview Markdown in VSCode
- 3.1. Clone this Gist
3.2. Preview Markdown

5. (WORK IN PROGRESS) Host the example website on GitHub

5.1. Create a GitHub profile

Create a GitHub profile. You may want to ensure that the email address you used to set up your account stays private. To do this, go to the Emails section of your profile settings. Configure it as you see below. Copy/paste the 0000000+userName@users.noreply.github.com address somewhere, as you will use it later when configuring Git.

![profile email options]

If you already have a GitHub profile, use that for now. Eventually, you may want to migrate your portfolio repository to its own, separate GitHub account, but that can be done easily later on.

Set up Raspberry Pi

Image a microSD card with Raspberry Pi OS

The included microSD card with a Raspberry Pi 500+ is 32GB. You can get a larger official microSD card, or a third-party one, preferably one of these top picks. There are also alternative boot options. Here, we will flash a drive using Raspberry Pi Imager.

Download and install Raspberry Pi Imager on another computer.
Insert a microSD card, using an adapter if necessary.
Run Raspberry Pi Imager.
Under "Raspberry Pi Device", select "Select device" and select "Raspberry Pi 5".

ESP-IDF

The basic tools for developing for ESP-32 in VSCode.

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/get-started/index.html

Currently on "Step 6". Virtual environment exists in C:\Users\Blake\Desktop\esp-idf\examples\get-started\hello_world. You have to run C:\Users\Blake\Desktop\esp-idf\export.ps1 to configure the pwsh session w/ the proper environment variables to execute idf.py build.

Installing ESP-IDF Release from GitHub

Setup for Raspberry Pi image `21.02.02 Base.img`

The Raspberry Pi image 21.02.02 Base.img is the base image.

Version info

This image runs Raspberry Pi OS from 2021-01-11 and Linux kernel 5.4. A sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade was run before imaging.

$ uname -a

Had to pip uninstall typing in order to get past AttributeError: type object 'Callable' has no attribute '_abc_registry'. See https://community.home-assistant.io/t/upgrade-error-cryptography-module/194496.

Something else strange:

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
esphome 1.16.0 requires PyYAML==5.3.1, but you have pyyaml 5.4.1 which is incompatible.
