Set Up Open JDK

To set up Open JDK, follow these steps:

1. Extract the downloaded openjdk-10_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz and javafx-11-0-2-sdk-linux.zip files at your preferred location.
   • Locate the jdk-10 and the javafx-sdk-11.0.2 directories.

     Note

     The jdk-10, javafx-sdk-11.0.2 directories are created as a result of extraction.

2. Copy all the files except the src.zip file from the lib sub directory located in the javafx-sdk-11.0.2 directory.
3. Paste all the copied files in the lib folder located in the jdk-10 directory.

   Note:

   • In this installation guide, setting up OpenJDK is covered. However, Oracle JDK versions until version 10 are also supported.
   • For Oracle JDK 10 installation steps, see the Oracle official site.
   • If you have installed Oracle JDK 10 or below already, you can skip Setting up OpenJDK.

Set Up Open JDK Path

To set up the JDK path, follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal.
2. Type the following command in the terminal to set JAVA_HOME as the OpenJDK directory path, for example:
   • JAVA_HOME=/home/<username>/Desktop/openJDK/jdk-10.0.2/.
3. Type the following commands in the terminal one after the other to complete the process:
   • sudo apt update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java ${JAVA_HOME%*/}/bin/java 20000
   • sudo apt update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac ${JAVA_HOME%*/}/bin/javac 20000
4. Type the following command to get a list of JDK versions installed:
   • sudo apt update-alternatives --config java

     Note

     If there are multiple versions of JDK installed, enter the selection number to choose your desired JDK version.

5. To configure the default Java compiler, type the following command:

   • sudo apt update-alternatives --config javac

     Note

     javac is used for compilation. For more information on the differences between java and javac, see the Oracle documentation.

6. Type the java –version command to verify whether the OpenJDK version 10 is installed.

Install Dependencies

The installer package consists of basic and immediate libraries. However, the Tizen Studio application requires additional libraries in order to work flawlessly.

To install the dependencies, open the terminal and execute the following commands:

sudo apt install expect sudo apt install gtk2-engines-pixbuf sudo apt install libgnome2-0 sudo apt install qemu-user-static sudo apt install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 sudo apt install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 cpio rpm2cpio sudo apt install gettext sudo apt install gksudo sudo apt install module-init-tools sudo apt install libudev-dev sudo apt install libsdl1.2debian sudo apt install bridge-utils sudo apt install openvpn

Install Emulator Dependencies

The Emulator also requires a few additional libraries to work smoothly. To install these dependencies, open the terminal and enter the following command:

sudo apt install acl bridge-utils openvpn libfontconfig1 libglib2.0-0 libjpeg-turbo8 libpixman-1-0 libpng12-0 libsdl1.2debian libsm6 libv4l-0 libx11-xcb1 libxcb-icccm4 libxcb-image0 libxcb-randr0 libxcb-render-util0 libxcb-shape0 libxcb-xfixes0 libxi6

Launch Installer

Navigate to the directory where you have saved the installer file and proceed with the further instructions.

To launch the installer, follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal and execute the following commands:

   • chmod +x web-ide_Tizen_Studio_x.x_ubuntu-64.bin
   • ./web-ide_Tizen_Studio_x.x_ubuntu-64.bin

     Note:

     x.x represents the latest version of Tizen Studio, for example: web-ide_Tizen_Studio_3.3_ubuntu-64.bin.

2. Accept the software license.

   Note

   The license contains important legal notices for using Tizen Studio. Read it fully, and click Accept only if you agree with the license terms.
