OS Requirements

The openEuler OS is required.

For details about how to install the openEuler OS, see the Installation Guide. On the SOFTWARE SELECTION page, select Development Tools in the Add-Ons for Selected Environment area.

Configuring the openEuler Yum Source

Configure an online Yum source using the online openEuler repo source. Alternatively, configure a local Yum source by mounting an ISO file and creating a local openEuler repo source.

Configuring an Online Yum Source by Obtaining the Online openEuler Repo Source

NOTE: openEuler provides multiple repo sources for users online. For details about the repo sources, see Installing the OS. This section uses the OS repo source file of the AArch64 architecture as an example.

Go to the yum source directory and check the .repo configuration file.
```
$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d
$ ls 
openEuler.repo
```
Edit the openEuler.repo file as the root user. Configure the online openEuler repo source as the yum source.
```
vi openEuler.repo
```
Edit the openEuler.repo file as follows:
```
[osrepo]
name=osrepo
baseurl=http://repo.openeuler.org/openEuler-22.03-LTS/OS/aarch64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://repo.openeuler.org/openEuler-22.03-LTS/OS/aarch64/RPM-GPG-KEY-openEuler
```
NOTE:
- repoid indicates the ID of the software repository. Repoids in all .repo configuration files must be unique. In the example, repoid is set to base.
- name indicates the string that the software repository describes.
- baseurl indicates the address of the software repository.
- enabled indicates whether to enable the software source repository. The value can be 1 or 0. The default value is 1, indicating that the software source repository is enabled.
- gpgcheck indicates whether to enable the GNU privacy guard (GPG) to check the validity and security of sources of RPM packages. 1 indicates GPG check is enabled. 0 indicates the GPG check is disabled. If this option is not specified, the GPG check is enabled by default.
- gpgkey indicates the public key used to verify the signature.

Configuring a Local Yum Source by Mounting an ISO File

NOTE: openEuler provides multiple ISO release packages. For details about each ISO release package, see OS Installation. This section uses the openEuler-22.03_LTS-aarch64-dvd.iso file and openEuler-22.03_LTS-aarch64-dvd.iso.sha256sum verification file as examples. Modify them based on the actual requirements.

Download the ISO release package.

Installing the Software Packages

The software required varies in different development environments. However, the installation methods are the same. This section describes how to install common software packages (such as JDK and rpm-build). Some development software, such as GCC and GNU make, is provided by the openEuler OS by default.

Installing the JDK Software Package

Run the dnf list installed | grep jdk command to check whether the JDK software is installed.
```
dnf list installed | grep jdk
```
Check the command output. If the command output contains "jdk", the JDK has been installed. If no such information is displayed, the software is not installed.
Clear the cache.
```
dnf clean all
```
Create a cache.
```
dnf makecache
```
Query the JDK software package that can be installed.
```
dnf search jdk | grep jdk
```
View the command output and install the java-x.x.x-openjdk-devel.aarch64 software package. x.x.x indicates the version number.
Install the JDK software package as the root user. The following uses the java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel software package as an example.
```
dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel.aarch64
```
Query information about the JDK software.
```
java -version
```
Check the command output. If the command output contains "openjdk version "1.8.0_232"", the JDK has been correctly installed. In the command output, 1.8.0_232 indicates the JDK version.

Installing the rpm-build Software Package

Run the dnf list installed | grep rpm-build command to check whether the rpm-build software is installed.
```
dnf list installed | grep rpm-build
```
Check the command output. If the command output contains "rpm-build", the software has been installed. If no such information is displayed, the software is not installed.
Clear the cache.
```
dnf clean all
```
Create a cache.
```
dnf makecache
```
Install the rpm-build package as the root user.
```
dnf install rpm-build
```
Query the rpm-build software version.
```
rpmbuild --version
```

Using the IDE for Java Development

For small-sized Java applications, you can directly use JDK to compile them to run Java applications. However, for medium- and large-sized Java applications, this method does not meet the development requirements. You can perform the following steps to install and use the IDE to facilitate Java development on the openEuler OS.

Overview

IntelliJ IDEA is a popular Java IDE. You can download the community edition of IntelliJ IDEA for free. Currently, openEuler supports Java development using IntelliJ IDEA, improving the work efficiency of developers.

Logging In to the Server Using MobaXterm

MobaXterm is an excellent SSH client. It has an X Server and can easily solve remote GUI display problems.

You need to download, install, and start MobaXterm in advance, and then log in to your server in SSH mode to perform the following operations.

Setting the JDK Environment

Before setting JAVA_HOME, you need to find the installation path of the JDK. You are supported to have installed the JDK. If you have not installed the JDK, install it by referring to the preceding section "Installing the JDK Software Package".

Run the following commands to view the Java path:

$ which java
/usr/bin/java

Run the following commands to check the directory to which the soft link points:

$ ls -la /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root  22 Mar 6 20:28 /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root  83 Mar 6 20:28 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-1.h2.aarch64/jre/bin/java

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-1.h2.aarch64 indicates the actual JDK path. Run the following commands to set JAVA_HOME and PATH:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-1.h2.aarch64
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Downloading and Installing the GTK Library

Run the following command:

dnf list installed | grep gtk

If gtk2 or gtk3 is displayed, the GTK library has been installed. In this case, skip this step. Otherwise, run the following command as the root user to automatically download and install the GTK library:

dnf -y install gtk2 libXtst libXrender  xauth

Setting X11 Forwarding

Switch to the SSHD configuration directory.

cd ~/.ssh

If the directory does not exist, run the following command to create it and then switch to it:

mkdir ~/.ssh

Edit the configuration file in the .ssh directory and save the file.

Run the vim command to open the configuration file.
```
vim config
```
Add the following content to the end of the file and save the file:
```
Host *
    ForwardAgent yes
    ForwardX11 yes
```

Downloading and Running IntelliJ IDEA

After the preceding environment configuration is complete, you can download and run IntelliJ IDEA. The latest version of IntelliJ IDEA is incompatible with openEuler in some functions. You are advised to click here to download the Linux package of the 2018 version. Move the downloaded package to the directory where you want to install the software and decompress the package.

tar xf ideaIC-2018.3.tar.gz

After the decompression is complete, switch to the IntelliJ IDEA directory and run IntelliJ IDEA.

cd ./idea-IC-183.4284.148
bin/idea.sh &
