VScode (or other IDE for java)

1

Hi!

Right now I’m installing
vscode-1.101.2_2
on NomadBSD 141R-20240711

It is updating and upgrading and deleting a lot of things and I’m afraid it will end up crashing the xfce after the next reboot.
(I did my homework and created a boot environment to recover).

As a Java student its interesting for me to have a portable environment. I’m used to vscode and I saw a video by Robonuggie installing it on GhostBSD
(https://youtu.be/GuM-0-YCg1I?feature=shared) so I decided to try.

But… have any of you, experienced people, any suggestions on the matter? experiences? devastating words?

Should I try other IDEs to work on nomadBSD?

Thank you in advance!

Edit: yeah, it crashed…

Thank you for your help.
I’ve read that article before and now, as before, I need to research the meaning and consequences of things like Electron is blacklisted

Anyway I haven’t installed anything from ports before so I will try it as part of my learning path

I hope writing down this journey will help somebody after me :slight_smile:

Hi,

I saw that your problem is not fix. First of all, for Electron is blacklisted that means none gratas. Nomadbsd is not in love with it and so aftermath you cannot install some program . Who have dependency with electron.

I have a top link for you . You will find an another way to install vs-code. And a lot of other useful server soft like webserver, dns-server, mailserver, database and a lot of powerfull soft. You can install them in console mode.

For Java I advise you to install the newest version of Java . Here on nomadbsd ti's openjdk 24. Because you are learning Java here is another to link for learning Java and other langage . In live mode please !

Thank you for your useful advices.
I attempted to follow these steps,
(from your first answer)

# pkg install git
# git clone https://git.FreeBSD.org/ports.git /usr/ports
# git -C /usr/ports pull
# cd /usr/ports/editors/vscode
# make install clean

but I encountered multiple errors.

I suspect it’s my lack of experience building from the ports, messing with de system and understanding the directory structure at all.

Lot of homework to do, yet!

Concerning links:
https://www.server-world.info/ <----- is GOLD!!
https://www.w3schools.com <------ already known but TOP too.

but I give you the direct link for install code server.

It was:
pkg install wget
bash install.sh
and
[cent@dlp ~]$

sudo systemctl --user start code-server

to close
sudo systemctl) --user stop code-server
Finish like that.
Have a nice week end.
