Texture Packer won't run - libgdx

I downloaded texture packer here https://code.google.com/p/libgdx-texturepacker-gui/downloads/detail?name=gdx-texturepacker-3.2.0.zip&can=2&q=
When I run the .jar file it just shuts down before even displaying the gui. Is anyone experiencing a similar problem? I am running OSX El Capitan.

The project is quite old so you can try it's successor: gdx-texture-packer-gui.
[The] project is a successor of Aurelien Ribon's project with whole new
GUI and features.
You can download the tool here:
https://github.com/crashinvaders/gdx-texture-packer-gui/releases

Do you have the Java runtime environment installed on your computer or just the Java development kit? I don't use the texture packer, but I had a similar problem with the Android SDK manager (it shut down before displaying the GUI) on a new computer where I had only installed the Java JDK. After installing the JRE then it worked fine.

Try this: Create a txt file and change its extension to ".bat". Right click to file and select modify. Copy this into file:
"java -jar "C:\Users\fat2019\Desktop\gdx-texturepacker-3.2.0\gdx-texturepacker.jar" Change path to your own where gdx-texturepacker.jar file is. Then save and close. Double click file.
edit: this is for windows.

I have the same problem. Using Windows 7 I have to do this:
Go to your java directory and copy your java path
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40\bin
Right click on my computer,
Click properties
Go to "Advanced system settings" click ,
Click on Environment variables.
Go to System variables section, and you will find an entry called path.
Double click on path
Add a semicolon (;) to the end of that line
After the semicolon paste your path previously copied: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40\bin
Apply
It must be enough. Your file should run at this point.
Double click it and go to the end, put a semicolon and paste your path, apply and ok. It should run now.

For Mac I downloaded the free version of https://www.codeandweb.com/texturepacker/download
This saves as .txt rather than .atlas for some reason.
After adding the animation I got errors in batch.draw ... casting to TextureRegion fixed that.
As always, I have no idea if this will cause problems later but there you go. Looks good so far. :)

'gitlab-runner' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

I'm using Windows 10 and installed gitlab-runner using the Gitlab's doc.
After a successful installation and registration, I try to leave the folderI used to install (C:\Gitlab-Runner in my instance) and try to run gitlab-runner. I get the response: 'gitlab-runner' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I am able to run without issue in the C:\Gitlab-Runner folder, but nowhere else.
Based on the documentation and tutorials I looked at, I wouldn't expect this behavior; am I supposed to?
Did you check to ensure that it was added to The windows environment. You will likely need to update the path variable to include the path that you are using to run the command.
On windows, you add to the PATH variable with the following steps (yanked from google search page):
On the Windows taskbar, right-click the Windows icon and select System.
In the Settings window, under Related Settings, click Advanced system settings. ...
On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables. ...
Click New to create a new environment variable.
Once you've added C:/Gitlab-runner/ to PATH, I believe you should be able to invoke with gitlab-runner.
The only thing I'll add is that, for setting PATH, the last step above is most likely unnecessary, as there will already be a variable named PATH with a list of directories stored in it. Just click EDIT and add your directory to the end of the list. Be sure to add the separator that is used for the others (I believe it's a semicolon on Windows...)
Solved. I need to call C:/Gitlab-runner/gitlab-runner rather than just gitlab-runner in other directories.
Please make sure the name of the exe is correct in the folder C:\GitLab-Runner
In my situation, I have the gilab-runner.exe.exe, there was an extra .exe in the file name though its not showing in the directory.

weblogic 12.2.1 config wizard C:\Program is not recognized error

Running the Config Wizard via the start menu (Windows 7) simply fails. Running it from the command prompt shows the infamous
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
I know this is due to the space in "Program Files" (dir C:\pro* /x doesn't show C:\Progra~1).
The solution I've found for this is to replace C:\Program Files\... with "C:\Program Files\...".
My question is this:
Since the WebLogic config wizard runs from config.cmd, which is loaded with variables for path names, do I have to update Windows system environment variable PATH and put quotes around all path names that have a space (since I don't know what WebLogic is looking for)?
Update:
I tried this and received Files was unexpected at this time. Which made me think I was off with the quotes, but they are paired properly around every path with C:\Program Files. A search on this error resulted with this advice...basically the double quotes are the cause.
If the lack of quotes causes the first problem, and the presence of quotes causes the second problem, what to do? It's a loop...
I installed another JDK in a location with no spaces (still got the error because I didn't change any environment variables because work site will change them back, breaking things).
The install docs in chapter 4 say:
To begin domain configuration, navigate to the
ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin directory and start the
Configuration Wizard.
On UNIX operating systems:
./config.sh
On Microsoft Windows operating systems:
.\config.cmd
Which implied at a command prompt (to me anyways). I was reading another site for help and the guy said to update config.cmd to point it to new JDK location instead of JAVA_HOME.
Instead of right clicking on config.cmd to edit it I double clicked it and lo and behold...this nice domain creator GUI opened up where I could specify which JDK to use. Done! No errors...
If that little tidbit were in the docs it would've save me a lot of time and frustration. And no, I'm not a server admin type, just a dev who needed a local web server for testing purposes.
I hope this helps someone.

Can't execute setup.py (Error 5 - Access Denied)

I ran into a problem creating a new project in Cocos2d-x 3.1.1 (or 3.0 - it happens at both versions).
When I'm running the build script in console (Windows 8 - console with admin privileges) an WindowsError pops up (check the image below).
http://i.imgur.com/Ixg4jEE.png
I can set up the COCOS_CONSOLE_ROOT manually, but it does not help with the Error 5.
I tried setting the 777 priviligies an all cocos2d-x folder and subfolders, but it does not help.
Anybody had the same problem? Any solutions out there?
On Windows you should not put manually installed programs and tools under C:\Program... (english: C:\Program Files) because that's a folder where only apps with a proper installer should go. Otherwise you will keep having permission issues. Apps are not allowed to write to that folder or any of its subfolders.
Since cocos2d-x isn't an app, it can't redirect its output to the proper AppplicationData folder as is mandated by the operating system. Not being able to write or modify the program folder's contents (except during installation) is a security feature in Windows that you can't (or shouldn't) bypass.
To fix this simply extract cocos2d-x in a folder that both you and apps have full read/write permission. Normally this would be in your Documents folder, but Desktop would also work and probably just any folder on a drive that you created, for instance C:\cocos2d-x.
Due to this line:
_winreg.SetValueEx() ...
the actual problem looks like to be with registry access, rather than with file permissions.
Make sure you actually running console as an admin, by:
searching cmd in Windows search, or just creating a shortcut to it to desktop
right clicking to cmd.exe and choosing "Run as administrator"
Make sure you don't have registry access block in any way: like blocking in group policies, some "security optimization" software and viruses and antiviruses.
Make sure your python version is 2.x. Python 3.x is not supported.
Anyway, this 'setup.py' step is optional for using cocos2d-x and you can live without running it at all.

.octaverc file on Windows XP

I place this code in octaverc in home directory which is setup previously. I am confused, in the book it talks about .octaverc with a dot in front and I just name my file octaverc. This code does not load on start and it should. If i execute this in command line it is fine but I want it to load automatically each time, and it does not. So my home directory is fine, and I have octaverc file in there with this code. What is wrong? I am on Windows XP.
PS1 (">> ");
edit mode "async";
Filenames beginning with a dot are hidden files on Unix/Linux. It's often used for configuration files. Apparently, the same name was kept for Windows (I only used it on Linux). You should try with a dot.
