Currently, we only officially support Ubuntu 16.04, with limited support for 14.04. The following instructions should work on other versions of Ubuntu as well.
...
To start we need to add some third-party PPAs in order to get the correct versions of Java and Gradle needed to run our software.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:cwchien/gradle
sudo apt-get update |
...
Install Java, make sure to install the OpenJDK. The Oracle JDK license does not allow controlling embedded systems. For Ubuntu 14.10 and newer:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk openjfx |
For versions of Ubuntu older than 14.10, such as 14.04, OpenJDK 8 is not available in an official backport. Instead, execute
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac |
...
You can verify that your system is using the correct JDK by running
| Code Block |
|---|
java -version |
The output should look something like
| Code Block |
|---|
java version "1.8.0_91"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode) |
...
Install Gradle
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
sudo apt-get install gradle |
Make sure you have a version >= 2.10 by running
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
gradle -v |
Install Git
...
| language | bash |
|---|
...
