NOTE: this is a thin wrapper of https://github.com/ysminnpu/IDEAir. You can check more details over there before you grab the code.
IDEAir is an open source IDE based on cloud9.
IDEAir enables developers to write, build, debug, test their C/C++ applications all within a browser. The IDEAir server can be deployed on a remote or local machine. Especially, it can be deployed on an embedded system board such as Intel Edison board, and then developers can develop embedded applications over the air (WiFi).
- High performance ACE text editor with bundled syntax highlighting support
- Support C/C++ applications build, debug, and run
- Console shell to the server or board
- Problem solving assistant with integrated StackOverflow knowledge
- Project management
We support the newer versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
Requirements:
- NodeJS
0.10.x
mkdir IDEAir
cd IDEAir
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ysminnpu/IDEAir-manifest/master/repo
chmod +x ./repo
./repo init -u https://github.com/ysminnpu/IDEAir-manifest.git
./repo sync
cd cloud9
npm install
cd ../cloud9hub
npm install
Start IDEAir server
./start-dev.sh
Use IDEAir
Go to http://IDEAir_server:3105/#/dashboard with your favorite browser.
We use an embedded board such as Edison (32bit IA arch) as an example. And we suppose the board and the host share a same wlan network. The ip of board is 192.168.8.100.
On host, install a version of 32bit node.js. In our experiment, we used http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.28/node-v0.10.28-linux-x86.tar.gz. Untar the package and include the bin directory in your PATH. Use "which node" to make sure you are using the node binary from that directory.
Also make sure you are using 32bit CC, CXX from the Edison SDK. You can change them using "source /opt/poky-edison/1.5.1/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux". And verify your CC is from Edison SDK by "echo $CC".
Then follow the installation instruction mentioned above, to install a 32 bit version server on your host. This step helps us resolve all the package dependencies.
Then create a tarball with tar cvzf IDEAir.tgz IDEAir. Copy it to the board with scp IDEAir.tgz root@192.168.8.100:/home.
ssh root@192.168.8.100; cd /home/; tar xzvf IDEAir.tgz; cd IDEAir/cloud9hub/. Change config.js to use a proper url for the board - our test uses 192.168.8.100.
Start server with npm start.
On the host, google-chrome 192.168.8.100/#/dashboard.
git clone https://github.com/ysminnpu/IDEAir.git cloud9
cd cloud9
npm install
The above install steps create a cloud9 directory with a bin/cloud9.sh
script that can be used to start Cloud9:
bin/cloud9.sh
Optionally, you may specify the directory you'd like to edit:
bin/cloud9.sh -w ~/git/myproject
Cloud9 will be started as a web server on port -p 3131, you can access it by
pointing your browser to: http://localhost:3131
By default Cloud9 will only listen to localhost.
To listen to a different IP or hostname, use the -l HOSTNAME flag.
If you want to listen to all IP's:
bin/cloud9.sh -l 0.0.0.0
If you are listening to all IPs it is adviced to add authentication to the IDE.
You can either do this by adding a reverse proxy in front of Cloud9,
or use the built in basic authentication through the --username and --password flags.
bin/cloud9.sh --username leuser --password c9isawesome
Cloud9 is compatible with all connect authentication layers,
to implement your own, please see the plugins-server/cloud9.connect.basic-auth plugin
on how we added basic authentication.
For a quick trial, IDEAir can be started as follows.
npm start
It is the same as
./bin/cloud9.sh -w testcases/c/testMakefile -l 0.0.0.0
As you will see, a test C project will be opened.
