uGet is a download manager for Chrome which uses aria2, a command line download client, to speed up downloads. uGet supports segmented downloads which can generate a massive increase in download speed. In fact, we can reach the maximum bandwidth available using uGet. It can also serve as a true test for bandwidth capacity. The best feature of uGet is that it can be integrated into Chrome (also Firefox) using a plugin from the Chrome Web Store. However, the Chrome Web Store plugin will not be able to find uGet unless the uget-integrator is installed first. The steps to integrate uGet into Chrome as a download manager are as follows. These commands work for Debian systems. For other Linux systems, the steps remain the same, only the commands would be different. 1. Install uGet and aria2 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:plushuang-tw/uget-stable sudo apt update sudo apt install uget sudo apt install aria2 2. Install uGet-integrator sudo add-apt-repository ppa:uget-team/ppa sudo
Many specialized tools are written for some version of Python like python2.7 and has dependencies on some versions of packages like pandas 0.7.3. Installing these older versions will remove newer versions and create conflicts with existing code. So a better option is to create a virtual environment with the specific package versions only. For example, QSTK does not work with Python 3 or pandas 0.21. It only works with python2.7 and pandas 0.7.3. So we have to create a virtual environment and install these versions. virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.7 ~/python2.7-virtual-env This will create the ~/python2.7-virtual-env directory if it doesn’t exist, and also create directories inside it containing a copy of the Python interpreter, the standard library, and various supporting files. Now go to that directory and run source activate to start a new environment (just like a chroot environment). source ~/python2.7-virtual-env/bin/activate This will start a new envi
