ICEcoder is a web-based code editor that runs on your server or localhost. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing ICEcoder on Linux Mint.
Before you get started, you should have the following:
Download the latest version of ICEcoder from https://icecoder.net/. Save the ZIP file to your downloads folder.
Open your terminal and navigate to your downloads folder:
cd ~/Downloads
Extract the ZIP file:
unzip icecoder*.zip
Move the ICEcoder directory to your web server's document root:
sudo mv icecoder-* /var/www/html/icecoder/
Next, you need to modify the configuration file lib/config.php. Open the file in your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/html/icecoder/lib/config.php
Find the line that says define('DOCROOT', '/var/www/html/icecoder/'); and change it to match the path to your ICEcoder directory:
define('DOCROOT', '/var/www/html/icecoder/');
Save and close the file.
You need to set the correct permissions on the lib and plugins directories:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/icecoder/lib
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/icecoder/plugins
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/icecoder/. ICEcoder should load and you should be able to start coding!
In this tutorial, you learned how to install ICEcoder on Linux Mint. You should now be able to use ICEcoder to edit your code directly in your web browser.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
