How to Setup C++ on Linux

hey what's up guys my name is Aero and welcome back to my C++ Series so you're using Linux to develop C++ code okay cool let's cover how we can set up the tools we need on Linux so that we can make C++ programs now of course there are so many different tools out there so many different ways to write and build your code I'm going to cover one of those ways one that I personally like I I hope you're ready to do some serious setting up I mean you've chosen Linux so obviously you're going to be prepared to do some work basically we're going to use cmake to generate project files for an IDE called code light code light is a nice lightweight IDE that basically does pretty much everything you would expect but isn't too heavyweight and just lets us write our code in a nice way so let's go ahead and set everything up so we've got a virtual box VM here running mint 18.1 and I'm using KDE as my GUI so so if I go ahead and open a terminal we can get started so the first thing I like to do is set up a directory here called Dev which is basically going to hold all of our development stuff um we'll make a for each project so I'll make a directory called Hello World um which is going to be uh what we're going to do here now we're going to set up a basic H World project now in terms of the applications that we actually have to install we basically need the ones that we really need are a compiler cake and code light so the first thing you're going to want to do to install all that is do pseudo app to get update that
