Presentation Transcript

  1. CSS Linux and Eclipse

  2. CSS Account • Log into your CSS account with the NoMachine client (NX client)

  3. Perl Development Environment • Editor and Perl interpreter is all you really need • Additional bells and whistles • Administrative access to add/compile modules • IDE (Integrated Development Environment) • Debugger

  4. Download/Install Eclipse • http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ • Select "Eclipse Classic" for "Linux 64" • This will probably put the file in your "Desktop". Something like: /user/eng/tbraun/Desktop $ cd Desktop $ mv eclipse-SDK-*.*-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz ~ Where *.* is some revision number like 3.4 This "mv" command moves the file to your "home" directory -- the "tilde" (~) at the end of the line means "home directory"

  5. More commands $ cd #this will change your directory to your "home" directory $ gunzip eclipse-SDK-3.4-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz #unzip the file $ tar -xvf eclipse-SDK-3.4-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar #extract the archive To start the eclipse program, type: $ ./eclipse/eclipse & Click "Ok" for the workspace Click on the arrow on the right hand side to take you to the workbench.

  6. Perl Plugin for Eclipse • Once you have eclipse running, go to: • Help-> Software Updates • Click on "Available Software" tab • Select "Add Site"

  7. Perl Plugin For Location -- type in: http://e-p-i-c.sf.net/updates Click "OK" Now check the "e-p-i-c" site This should bring up "Main Components" Expand "Main Components" Select "EPIC” (0.5.46) -- 0.6.7 is “unstable” Click "Install"

  8. Perl plugin • Click "Next" • Read License • Select "I agree to terms of license…" • Click "Finish" • This may take a few minutes -- just let it run. • Select "Restart" -- this restarts Eclipse • In eclipse, now select: • Window->Open Perspective->Other • Select "Perl" • Click OK.

  9. First Perl Program • File->new->Perl Project • Type in Project Name: Hello • Click "Finish" • Right Click on the "Hello" project and select New->Perl File • For "File name" enter: Hello.pl • Click "Finish" • Now you can enter a Perl program in the middle window. Try this: • print "hello world\n"; • Then select: Run->Run. Click on "Yes"

  10. Eclipse cleanup • If for some reason you want to remove eclipse: cd rm -rf ./eclipse rm -rf .eclipse rm -rf workspace

  11. Debugger • To use the debugger and observe variables, you will need administrative access to your Perl – and install a module called “PadWalker”
