Support cygwin

[vab2048]

Currently when attempting to install on cygwin I get:

RuntimeError: Could not find poetry-0.12.17-cygwin.sha256sum file

Suggestion for feature request is to support cygwin.

If this is not on the roadmap please close this ticket.

can we reopen this?

As a workaround:

sed -i 's/platform = sys.platform/platform = "win32"/' get-poetry.py

This will alter the _make_lib function there: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/blob/master/get-poetry.py#L571

I have the same error on a mac book when I run: poetry self update --preview

My poetry version is: Poetry version 1.1.11

@paconte To go from Poetry 1.1 to 1.2-preview, you will have to reinstall with install.python-poetry.org. Additionally, I'm wondering how you got a Cygwin-related error on macOS -- did you maybe comment on the wrong issue?

[paconte]

You are right, it is a different error but related with the platform. When I run poetry self update --previewI get this error:

Updating to 1.2.0a2

  RuntimeError

You'll need to use the installer at install.python-poetry.org to update -- Poetry 1.1 cannot self-update to 1.2-preview.

[paconte]

You are right. Thank you. I have seen the deprecation of get-poetry.py

Hey i am very new to programming. Could you please educate me on how can we install poetry using install.python-poetry.org

Could you please educate me on how can we install poetry using install.python-poetry.org

@finswimmer Your main docs still reference using

PS> poetry self update --preview

and the warning

The previous get-poetry.py and install-poetry.py installers are now deprecated. If you are currently using them you should migrate to the new, supported, installer through https://install.python-poetry.org.

is unclear. People are thinking they can still use

PS> poetry self update --preview

successfully if they have first installed with the PowerShell and curl commands accessing https://install.python-poetry.org.

Instead, you need to say

The previous get-poetry.py and install-poetry.py installers are now deprecated. If you are currently using them you should migrate to the new, supported, installer through https://install.python-poetry.org.

To do so, on MacOS/Linux, use

$ curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 - --preview

and on Windows

PS> (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://install.python-poetry.org -UseBasicParsing).Content | py - --preview

This information is hidden in the Configure the installation section of your documentation and belongs under the Update Poetry section instead.

It doesn't make sense to a newcomer to look at the configuration sections, which is why you're getting all the bug reports.

[adam-grant-hendry]

Please also note that unless you want Poetry installed to the default location (on Windows, this is %APPDATA%), set the following environment variables before running the PowerShell command:

POETRY_HOME = Path to poetry install folder
POETRY_CACHE = Path to cache folder

You can also set these variables for virtual environment creation control:

POETRY_VIRTUALENVS_CREATE = true/false
POETRY_VIRTUALENVS_IN_PROJECT = true/false

@adam-grant-hendry I recently rewrote the install docs, please open a new issue if you think they're unclear on the 1.2 installer migration.

Thank you very much! (I was just noting for posterity)
