Follow the installers instruction and allow it to install and upgrade everything it wants to. Search for or find the C/C++ plugin, select it and click the install button.
It is also worth selecting the Updates tab and click the Check For Updates tab to make sure everything is up-to-date before installing the plugin. Next go to the Available Plugins tab and click the Newest button to update the list. If it isn't in the list for any reason add: As a temporary solution you have to use the original 8.2 plugin - this is likely to change as the NetBeans project develops.Īll you have to do is use the Tools | Plugins menu option and, in the Settings tab of the dialog box that appears enable the NetBeans IDE 8.2 update center. Run it in a terminal, accept the license agreement and wait while it installs.Īt this point you will have a working NetBeans IDE and you can use it to create Java, PHP and JavaScript programs but, at the time of writing the C/C++ plugin is not installed and an upgraded version isn't available. These small programs install NetBeans and subsequently runs the IDE after installation. Navigate to the directory and then netbeans/bin and run the file netbeans for a Linux installation or netbeans.exe or netbeans64.exe for a 32 or 64 bit Windows installation. Extract all of the files into the directory. If you are the only person going to use NetBeans then your Linux home directory or Program Files under Windows is suitable. You will also see installers for various operating systems at the time of writing there isn't an installer for Raspian and the other installers often fail to find the installed JDK - working with the binary is just as easy.Īfter the download is complete you have to extract the files in the zip to a suitable directory. Its name should be something like: Īccording to the version number.
Select the latest version and download the zip listed as "Binaries". Go to the NetBeans web site and navigate to the download page. The procedure described below works for Raspian, Linux, Windows or OSX. If you do this it doesn't have the C/C++ option included and you have to set it up so that it makes use of the 8.2 plugin.
