Compiling

At this moment there is no repository for easy installation, you will need to compile this project on your own. Here are 3 steps which will guide you through the compiling process:

1. Installing dependencies:

These are the required dependencies in order to build elementary IDE:

• libgranite-dev
• libgtksourceview-3.0-dev
• libvala-0.34-dev
• libvte-2.91-dev
• libjson-glib-dev
• libgee-0.8-dev
• libvaladoc-dev

If you are on elementary OS (Loki) you can install them all with this command:

sudo apt install libgranite-dev libgtksourceview-3.0-dev libvala-0.34-dev libvte-2.91-dev libjson-glib-dev libgee-0.8-dev libvaladoc-dev

If you are on Ubuntu-based (only >= 16.04) system you will need additional repositories to install all needed dependenices (untested):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/stable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/os-patches
sudo apt update

And then follow the previous elementary OS (Loki) instructions.

2. The actual compiling:

1. Clone this repository or download and unpack it.
2. Open a terminal and cd into the root of this project.
3. Execute these commands in the following order:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make

3. Installing & running the project:

1. Once you've done step 2, without closing the terminal, install elementary IDE by executing this command:

sudo make install

2. The application entry should appear in the applications menu, if you want to debug the app the executable name is elementary-ide.
3. The end!
