Ubuntu Make - a developer to help

There was a desire to get acquainted with the development of android. I downloaded Android Studio, unpacked and deleted. I decided to look for other installation options. In the process of searching, I came across Ubuntu Make (it’s the Ubuntu Developer Tools Center in the past), and in this little article I want to tell you about it.

The Ubuntu Developer Tools Center flashed on the news along with Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn), but I didn’t get much attention from the masses. Not much later, the project was renamed Ubuntu Make, as it is called to this day grown up to version 0.4. Developed by Didier Roche, Software Engineer, Canonical. Also noteworthy is the fact that Ubuntu Make is written in Python 3.4.

The main goal of the project is to quickly and easily install the general needs of a Ubuntu developer. And although it’s still far from “general needs” (the list of packages available for installation is still small), everything is fine with “fast and simple”.

At the moment, using Ubuntu Make, you can install:

• Android Studio
• Eclipse
• IntelliJ Idea Community Edition
• PyCharm Community Edition
• go-lang google compiler
• Stencyl game developer IDE

Installation

In ubuntu 15.04, ubuntu-make is available out of the box, users of versions 14.04 and 14.10 are asked to install from ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ubuntu-make 

Using

Installing from ubuntu-make is easy to indecent. To install Android Studio, just run in the terminal:

 umake android 

A bit of waiting and here's the result:


An icon in dash and openjdk (if Java was not in the system) is included. After launch, the “studio” pulled sdk up and updated to version 1.0.2. “Hello world” was launched on the phone and this was the end of the health check.

golang is installed in the same way:


For PyCharm, Eclipse, Idea, one more argument will be added:

 umake ide pycharm 

To remove a package, simply add the "-r" argument to the same line:

 umake ide pycharm -r 

Opinion

Someone will say: - “How many business. Download archive, unpack, dash icon and check it out. Is ubuntu make necessary? I can agree and not much, but I found the package useful for myself. He saved me time and got rid of the routine. I hope it will be useful to you.
