Install Development Tools

Tizen SCM tools support the following Linux distribution versions:

  • Ubuntu 20.04/18.04/16.04/14.04
  • openSUSE 13.2/Leap 42.1/42.3
Note

Tizen SCM tools are maintained in http://download.tizen.org/tools/latest-release/ . If you cannot find your Linux system, that means currently Tizen SCM tools doesn’t support your operating system. But, if you still want to use tools, you can find in http://download.tizen.org/tools/archive/, Tizen SCM tools are stored in that repository.

You can install a variety of development tools, including:

  • Git Build System (GBS) command line tool that supports Tizen package building.
  • Image Creator (MIC) command line tool that supports Tizen image creation.
Note

GBS and MIC are used as examples because they are mandatory development tools for Tizen developers.

Install development tools in Ubuntu or Debian

To install a development tool in Ubuntu or Debian, follow the steps below:

Note

The apt-get install <Package_Name> command is recommended because it upgrades 1 or more already installed packages without upgrading every package installed, whereas the apt-get upgrade command installs the newest version of all currently installed packages. In addition, apt-get update must always be executed before apt-get install <Package_Name> or apt-get upgrade, to resynchronize the package index files.

  1. Use the following command to set up the Tizen repository in your apt list:

    echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://download.tizen.org/tools/latest-release/Ubuntu_$(lsb_release -rs)/ /" | \
    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tizen.list > /dev/null
    
    Note

    The lsb_release -rs sub-command returns the version of your Ubuntu distribution.

    Note

    You can set up the Tizen repository manually using the following steps:

    1. Open the package manager source list using a text editor:

      VIM is used in the following example:

      $ sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tizen.list
      
    2. Add the Tizen tools repository to the source list:

      deb [trusted=yes] http://download.tizen.org/tools/latest-release/Ubuntu_<version>/ /
      

      For example, in Ubuntu 20.04, append the following line to the source list:

      deb [trusted=yes] http://download.tizen.org/tools/latest-release/Ubuntu_20.04/ /
      

    Pay special attention to the space between the URL and “/”.

  2. Resynchronize the package index files from the sources specified in the source list and install development tools:

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gbs mic
