Description

Under linux most of installations can be done from a single task on the command line.

Liste des logiciels

Mandatory software

• Git
• C++ compilers and debuggers
• CMake
• Boost
• Valgrind

Recommended software

• Ninja

Installations

Git

In a terminal run the command:

sudo apt-get install git

C++ compilers and debuggers

Two possible compilers for medInria G ++ and CLang. It is recommended to use Clang.
For G++, it is likely that it is already installed by default in your linux distribution.
Install G++ in a terminal run the command:

sudo apt-get install g++

For Clang and in particular Clang-Tidy is indispensable for the verification of coding rules.
Install Clang in a terminal run the command:
``` sudo apt-get install clang clang-tidy ```
To debug it, it is likely that it is already installed by default in your linux distribution.
Install GDB in a terminal run the command:
``` sudo apt-get install gdb ```

CMake

Install CMake, in a terminal run the command:

sudo apt-get install cmake cmake-curses-gui cmake-qt-gui

cmake-curses-gui an cmake-qt-gui are the twoc interfaces, command line and GUI to control CMake.

Boost

Install Boost, in a terminal run the command:

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

Valgrind

Install Valgrind, in a terminal run the command:

sudo apt-get install valgrind

Ninja

Ninja replaces make and allows faster compilations, it is more naturally multi-threaded and multi-process. Install Ninja, in a terminal run the command:

sudo apt-get install ninja-build

Tips and advice

No LSB modules are available

Supress “No LSB modules are available.” warning:

sudo apt-get install lsb-core 

See https://askubuntu.com/questions/230766/how-lsb-module-affects-system-and-can-be-made-available-to-the-system

OpenGL

For some light distributions such as XUbuntu it is necessary to install OpenGL development libs explicitly.

sudo apt-get install libglew-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libglm-dev libfreetype6-dev

Summary of orders

sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install g++ gdb clang clang-tidy 
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install cmake cmake-curses-gui cmake-qt-gui
sudo apt-get install valgrind
sudo apt-get install ninja-build
sudo apt-get install libglew-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libglm-dev libfreetype6-dev
