Eclipse Che is an open-source, cloud-based IDE (integrated development environment) that allows developers to write, debug, and test code using a web browser. In this tutorial, we will go over the steps to install Eclipse Che on a NetBSD system.
Download the Eclipse Che binary file from the official website at https://www.eclipse.org/che/ or use the following command to download it to your NetBSD system:
$ wget https://github.com/eclipse/che/releases/download/7.31.1/che-server-7.31.1.tar.gz
Extract the files from the downloaded compressed archive using the following command:
$ tar xvzf che-server-7.31.1.tar.gz
Set the CHE_HOME environment variable to the extracted directory path:
$ export CHE_HOME=<extracted directory path>/che-server-7.31.1
Start the Eclipse Che server using the following command:
$ cd $CHE_HOME && ./che.sh start
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080 to access the Eclipse Che login page.
Create a new user account by entering your name and choosing a password. Once you have successfully logged in, you can create workspaces and start coding.
To verify if Eclipse Che is successfully installed, run the following command:
$ cd $CHE_HOME && ./che.sh status
This command will show the status of the Eclipse Che server. If everything is working fine, you will see a message indicating that the server is running.
In this tutorial, we covered the steps to install Eclipse Che on a NetBSD system. Eclipse Che provides a powerful, cloud-based IDE that can help developers work more efficiently by providing access to powerful tools and features from within a 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!
