Debian Installation of Code::Blocks

(1/1)

Hi,

  I use Debian + XFCE.  I am new to Linux.  I used CB for one semester of a programming class.  I install .DEB files using GDebi Package Installer.  For installing CB on my system, I downloaded:
codeblocks_16.01_amd64_jessie.tar.xz

I extracted it (using XArchiver).  Using GDebi, I installed the different .DEB files in the order it forced me to (as dependencies dictated).

I should have used
--- Code: ---apt-get install codeblocks
--- End code ---
I think.  I thought that I tried that.  Perhaps I spelled it wrong.  I swear that I tried that, and when it failed, I went to codeblocks.org to see if there was a .DEB for me.  Anyhoozlebee, for a Linux newbie, the download page should mention the Debian Package.


--- Code: ---apt-get install codeblocks
--- End code ---
would have worked for me, right?

cacb:
Try

$ sudo apt-get install codeblocks

i.e. you need priveleges to install software. Unless you have a specific reason it is best to install from the repository via apt-get
