Hey guys,
I just moved to ubuntu from win7 and I'm trying to setup my CB + wxWidgets and I'm meeting an issue here.

When I try to create a new wxWidgets I get the error message : wxSmith plugin is not loaded, can not continue

It sounds like wxSmith plugin is not installed. ThoughI think it's installed:

For the installation I used this tutorial : https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install-code-blocks-ubuntu-16-04-17-04
I used the second methode described there as it said Software's version is old (though now that I checked it does not seems so.)

--- Code: ---wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files/Binaries/17.12/Linux/Debian%20stable/codeblocks_17.12-1_amd64_stable.tar.xz
sudo tar xvf codeblocks_17.12-1_amd64_stable.tar.xz
sudo apt install ./codeblocks_17.12-1_amd64.deb ./codeblocks-common_17.12-1_all.deb ./libcodeblocks0_17.12-1_amd64.deb ./codeblocks-dev_17.12-1_amd64.deb ./codeblocks-headers_17.12-1_all.deb ./*wx*.deb
--- End code ---

I checked my home folder and seen some wxsmith .deb, I tried to install those but console feedback they are already installed.

What I am doing wrong?

I'm using wxWidgets 3.1.3. I also use Xubuntu that I installed on top of ubuntu. Not sure if these can be an issue?

If I try to run again the command to install I get :

--- Code: ---sudo apt install ./codeblocks_17.12-1_amd64.deb ./codeblocks-common_17.12-1_all.deb ./libcodeblocks0_17.12-1_amd64.deb ./codeblocks-dev_17.12-1_amd64.deb ./codeblocks-headers_17.12-1_all.deb ./*wx*.deb

You need to install codeblocks-contrib.

Thanks for your feedback!

Which package? There are a so many different packages. A monolithic install would make things simpler for new-comers.
codeblocks_17.12-1_amd64.deb
codeblocks-common_17.12-1_all.deb
codeblocks-contrib_17.12-1_amd64.deb
codeblocks-contrib-common_17.12-1_all.deb
codeblocks-dev_17.12-1_amd64.deb
codeblocks-headers_17.12-1_all.deb
codeblocks-libwxcontrib0_17.12-1_amd64.deb
codeblocks-wxcontrib-dev_17.12-1_amd64.deb
codeblocks-wxcontrib-headers_17.12-1_all.deb
libcodeblocks0_17.12-1_amd64.deb
libwxsmithlib0_17.12-1_amd64.deb
libwxsmithlib0-dev_17.12-1_amd64.deb
wxsmith-dev_17.12-1_amd64.deb
wxsmith-headers_17.12-1_all.deb

Is it contrib or contrib-common? Or libwxcontrib or wx-contrib-dev or wx-contrib-headers?

I tried to install contrib and got some errors :

Pass all debs on the command line. I would also make a single package if it were to me, but this is not how debian is supposed to work. There you're supposed to split stuff in smaller packages, I think, I guess I could research this...

You could try this

sudo dpkg -i *.deb
