Installing Development Tools

Tizen SCM tools support the following Linux distribution versions:

• Ubuntu 16.04/14.04/12.04
• openSUSE 13.2/13.1/12.3/Leap 42.1
• Fedora 23/22/21/20
• CentOS 7/6
• Debian 8/7

You can install a variety of development tools, including:

• Git Build System (GBS) command line tool that supports Tizen package building.
• Image Creator (MIC) command line tool that supports Tizen image creation.

Note

GBS and MIC are used as examples because they are mandatory development tools for Tizen developers.

Installing Development Tools in Ubuntu or Debian

To install a development tool in Ubuntu or Debian:

Note

The apt-get install <Package_Name> command is recommended because it upgrades 1 or more already installed packages without upgrading every package installed, whereas the apt-get upgrade command installs the newest version of all currently installed packages. In addition, apt-get update must always be executed before apt-get install <Package_Name> or apt-get upgrade, to resynchronize the package index files.

1. Open the package manager source list using a text editor.

   VIM is used in the following example:

   $ sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
   

2. Add the Tizen tools repository to the source list.

   For example:

   • In Ubuntu 16.04, append the following line to the source list:

     deb [trusted=yes] http://download.tizen.org/tools/latest-release/Ubuntu_16.04/ /
     

   • In Ubuntu 14.04, append the following line to the source list:

     deb http://download.tizen.org/tools/latest-release/Ubuntu_14.04/ /
     

   Note

   Pay special attention to the space between the URL and “/”.

3. Resynchronize the package index files from the sources specified in the source list:

   $ sudo apt-get update
   

4. Install a development tool:

   $ sudo apt-get install <Package_Name>
