Development Environment

This document assumes you are running a new install of Fedora 29. The instructions here are aimed at installations, usage will be described later.

Java (JRE and JDK)

• https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Java
• https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/installing-java/

sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel

Visual Studio Code

• Visual Studio Code is a flexible editor with Extensions for most major languages.
• IntelliJ has better debugging features out of the box but is limited to Java.

I will be using VSCode.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux :

sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[code]\nname=Visual Studio Code\nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/vscode\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" > /etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo'

dnf check-update
sudo dnf install code

VSCode can now be opened by running code from the terminal.

Extensions

Without extensions VSCode is just a good text editor. With extensions it can be turned into an IDE.

# Java Extension Pack:
code --install-extension vscjava.vscode-java-pack

# Spell Checker
code --install-extension streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker
