      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 to use online. For details about the repo sources, see OS Installation. This section uses the OS repo source of the AArch64 architecture as an example to describe how to configure it as a Yum source.

      1. Go to the Yum source directory and view the .repo configuration file in the directory.

        $ cd /etc/yum.repos.d
        $ ls
        openEuler.repo
        
      2. Edit the openEuler.repo file as the root user and 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-SP1/OS/aarch64/
         enabled=1
      
         gpgcheck=1
         gpgkey=http://repo.openeuler.org/openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP1/OS/aarch64/RPM-GPG-KEY-openEuler
      

      NOTE:

      • repoid indicates the ID of the software repository. repoid in all .repo configuration files must be unique. In the example, repoid is set to osrepo.

      • name indicates the character string of the software repository description.

      • 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 can be set to 1 or 0. Value 1 indicates that the GNU Private Guard (GPG) check is enabled, while value 0 indicates that the GPG check is disabled. gpgcheck checks whether the source of the RPM package is valid and secure. 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 the ISO release packages, see OS Installation. This section uses the openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP1-aarch64-dvd.iso release package and openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP1-aarch64-dvd.iso.sha256sum verification file as examples. Modify them based on the actual requirements.

            mkdir ~/iso
            cd ~/iso
            
          10. Run the wget command to remotely download the release package and verification file. In the command, replace ipaddriso and ipaddrisosum with the addresses copied in steps 7 and 8.

            wget ipaddriso
            wget ipaddrisosum
            
      2. Verify the integrity of the release package.

        1. Obtain the verification value in the verification file.

          cat openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP1-aarch64-dvd.iso.sha256sum
          
        2. Calculate the SHA256 verification value of the openEuler release package.

          sha256sum openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP1-aarch64-dvd.iso 
          

          After the command is executed, the verification value is displayed.

        3. Check whether the verification values calculated in step 1 and step 2 are the same.

          If the verification values are the same, the integrity of the ISO file is not damaged. If the verification values are different, the integrity of the ISO file is damaged and you need to obtain the ISO file again.

      3. Mount the ISO file and create a repo source.

        Run the mount command to mount the image file as the root user.

        Example:

        mount /home/iso/openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP1-aarch64-dvd.iso /mnt/
        

        The structure of the mounted /mnt directory is as follows:

        .
        │── boot.catalog
        │── docs
        │── EFI
        │── images
        │── Packages
        │── repodata
        │── TRANS.TBL
        └── RPM-GPG-KEY-openEuler
        

        In the directory, Packages indicates the directory where the RPM package is stored, repodata indicates the directory where the repo source metadata is stored, and RPM-GPG-KEY-openEuler indicates the public key for signing openEuler.

      4. Go to the Yum source directory and view the .repo configuration file in the directory.

        $ cd /etc/yum.repos.d
        
        $ ls
        openEuler.repo
        
      5. Edit the openEuler.repo file as the root user. Configure the local openEuler repo source created in step 3 as the local Yum source.

        vi openEuler.repo
        

        Edit the openEuler.repo file as follows:

        [localosrepo]
        name=localosrepo
        baseurl=file:///mnt
        enabled=1
        gpgcheck=1
        gpgkey=file:///mnt/RPM-GPG-KEY-openEuler
        

      Installing Software Packages

      Install the software required for development. The software required varies in different development environments, but the installation methods are the same. This section describes how to install common software packages (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

      1. Run the dnf list installed | grep jdk command to check whether JDK has been installed.

        dnf list installed | grep jdk
        

        Check the command output. If the command output contains jdk, the software has been installed and does not need to be installed again. If no information is displayed, the software is not installed.

      2. Clear the cache.

        dnf clean all
        
      3. Create a cache.

        dnf makecache
        
      4. Query the JDK software packages 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.

      5. 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
        
      6. Query the JDK version.

        java -version
        

        If the command output contains openjdk version "1.8.0_232", JDK has been correctly installed. 1.8.0_232 indicates the JDK version.

      Installing the rpm-build Software Package

      1. Run the dnf list installed | grep rpm-build command to check whether the rpm-build software has been installed.

        dnf list installed | grep rpm-build
        

        Check the command output. If the command output contains rpm-build, the software has been installed and does not need to be installed again. If no information is displayed, the software is not installed.

      2. Clear the cache.

        dnf clean all
        
      3. Create a cache.

        dnf makecache
        
      4. Install the rpm-build software package as the root user.

        dnf install rpm-build
        
      5. Query the rpm-build 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 cannot meet developers' requirements. You can perform the following operations to install and use the development environment (IDE) to facilitate Java development on the openEuler OS.

      Overview

      IntelliJ IDEA is a popular Java IDE. You can download and use the community edition of IntelliJ IDEA free of charge. Currently, openEuler supports Java program development using the IntelliJ IDEA, which improves the work efficiency of developers.

      Logging In to the Server Using MobaXterm

      MobaXterm is an excellent SSH client. It has a built-in X Server and can easily solve the remote GUI display problems.

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

      Setting the JDK Environment

      Before setting JAVA_HOME, you need to find the JDK installation path. If you have not installed 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
      

      The actual path of JDK is /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-1.h2.aarch64. 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 config file in the .ssh directory and save the file.

      1. Run the vim command to open the config file.

        vim config
        
      2. 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 performing the preceding environment configuration, you can download and use IntelliJ IDEA. The latest IntelliJ IDEA is incompatible with openEuler in some functions. You are advised 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
      

      Decompress the package, switch to the IntelliJ IDEA directory, and run IntelliJ IDEA.

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