= Packages to install =

== General utilities and RR SDK required packages ==

These are packages that are typically required to put your system in shape for general utilities, and also packages necessary to compile typical RR's SDKs.

 sudo apt-get install -y build-essential fakeroot graphviz gdb vim openssh-server git
 sudo apt-get install -y zip subversion git-core nfs-kernel-server nfs-common meld
 sudo apt-get install -y portmap xinetd tftpd tftp curl libncurses5-dev texinfo
 sudo apt-get install -y minicom quilt curl autoconf libcrypt-ssleay-perl quilt
 sudo apt-get install -y libusb-dev libexpect-perl mono-devel libgtk2.0-dev bison flex
 sudo apt-get install -y xclip liblzo2-dev uuid-dev python-virtualenv ia32-libs
 sudo apt-get install -y terminator tree doxygen vlc libdbus-glib-1-dev iftop libxml2-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y gstreamer-tools libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstrtspserver-0.10-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y libreadline-dev valac libtool libterm-readkey-perl libwww-perl
 sudo apt-get install -y gparted gperf libgmp-dev libgmp3-dev libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev
 sudo apt-get install -y imagemagick ddd cmake cmake-curses-gui ccache mtd-utils
 sudo apt-get install -y intltool xsltproc libusb-1.0-0-dev libbz2-dev libjpeg62

This package is required by Lauterbach TRACE32: 

 sudo apt-get install -y libjpeg62

The next packages can also be convenient, but note that they will eventually require user-interaction during the installation process, for example to confirm a User License agreement.

 sudo apt-get install -y ubuntu-restricted-extras

The ''termnet'' and ''termnetd'' packages are available through:

 http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/termnetd
 http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/termnet

== Common packages used by RR Developers ==

RidgeRun developers often install:

 sudo apt-get install -y geany geany-plugin-addons emacs eclipse-cdt cscope hamster-indicator pidgin filezilla gimp wireshark wireshark-doc

= Setup =

== Using GNOME instead of Unity ==

This is optional, but RR developers often get rid of Unity and use the classic gnome environment:

 sudo apt-get install -y gnome-panel

After installing this package, the option to choose a ''Gnome Classic'' session will appear in the login screen.

== Sudo, my best friend ==

If you don't want ''sudo'' to ask you for the password all the time, run:

 sudo sh -c "echo $USER 'ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' >> /etc/sudoers"

After this change, you have to log out from your session for the changes to take effect.

== Switch shell from dash to bash ==

<pre>
sudo rm /bin/sh
sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
</pre>

== Tuning bash startup script ==

<pre>
echo "alias h='history 100'" >> $HOME/.bashrc
echo "alias e='\`make env || echo ERROR: not in a top level development directory 1>&2\`'" >> $HOME/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/sbin' >> $HOME/.bashrc
</pre>

When you're ready you can source the file:

<pre>
source $HOME/.bashrc
</pre>

== Translator for Firefox ==

''Wiktionary and Google Translate 7.0'' is a very helpful web translator.

=== Installation ===

Open the following link in Firefox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-dictionary-and-google-t

Just select ''Add to Firefox''. Firefox will restart.

=== Usage ===

Place the mouse cursor over the word to translate an press ''CTRL+SHIFT''.

== Resolving  libiberty-dev is NOT installed error==

If you get the error message:

'''libiberty-dev (libiberty-dev) is NOT installed'''

and try 

 sudo apt-get install libiberty-dev

only to see

'''E: Unable to locate package libiberty-dev'''

you can resolve the issue with the following commands:

<pre>
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libi/libiberty/libiberty-dev_20131116-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./libiberty-dev_20131116-1_amd64.deb
</pre>

== SDK downloads ==

The location <tt>/opt/ridgerun/downloads</tt> is conveniently used to hold all the packages and tarballs downloaded by the RR SDK, and is convenient because it can be re-used if you have more than one RR SDK installed in your machine.

<pre>
sudo mkdir --parents /opt/ridgerun/downloads
sudo chmod ugo+rwx /opt/ridgerun/downloads
</pre>

== Building a RR SDK ==

After the steps above, you can try out building your RR SDK. See the [[:Category:SDK|SDK User Guides]] for reference.

=== Special steps when compiling the dvsdk ===

Since we are in a 64-bits version of Ubuntu, we need to run the installer as 32-bit:

 sudo apt-get install -y ia32-libs

Then when you are running the dvsdk installer, use the <code>--forcehost</code> switch to enable the installation, for example:

 ./dvsdk_dm368-evm_4_02_00_06_setuplinux --forcehost
