Eclipse Che is an open source, cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) that allows developers to collaborate on projects in real-time. It can be installed on various operating systems, including Void Linux. In this tutorial, we will guide you step-by-step on how to install Eclipse Che on Void Linux.
Before we proceed with the installation process, ensure that all requirements are met:
Follow the steps below to install Eclipse Che on Void Linux:
Eclipse Che requires Java to run. Enter the following command in your terminal window to install Java:
sudo xbps-install -S openjdk8
Next, download Eclipse Che from the official Eclipse Che website using the following command:
wget https://download.eclipse.org/che/che-latest.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded file to your preferred location using the command below:
tar -xvzf che-latest.tar.gz
Move to the extracted directory and run che.sh to start Eclipse Che:
cd eclipse-che-*/
./che.sh
After running the command above, you will see output like the following:
INFO: (che start) Running on .....
INFO: (che start) Url: http://localhost:8080
Copy the URL http://localhost:8080 and enter this in a web browser. You will be redirected to the Eclipse Che login page. Create a new account or use your existing one to log in.
Once you're logged in, you should see the Eclipse Che dashboard. From here, you can create a new workspace by clicking on the “Create workspace” button. Enter a name for your workspace and you will be directed to the Eclipse Che IDE.
Congratulation! You have successfully installed Eclipse Che on your Void Linux machine. You can now start collaborating on projects with other developers using the Eclipse Che IDE.
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!
