Development Environment on the Pinebook Pro

[feoh]

Visual Studio Code now supports ARM 32 and 64-bit, so we don't need these custom builds any more. Well, if you care about the telemetry you would but not me personally.

The reason I switched to the official build is that the extension store has Microsoft's extensions available.

I was really surprised how well it was working, even the C/C++ extension is fully wokring in Manjaro ARM!

OK but... How do I install them on the Stock Manjaro? They seem to offer .debs and .rpms

There is a VS Code package now available through Pacman or Pamac as a standard installable.  I forget the package name though and on my ThinkPad at the moment....just search for "vs code"...it should show up.  Works great, even pylance (for those Python folks)

Hi everyone, I just got my pinebook pro and trying to install intelliJ without success. I installed snapd and tried to install the snap but intelliJ is not available for this architecture. How did you install it?

Wont work via snapd. You can build it from the aur without any problems. Just make sure that you have Java 11 installed

Yup I can confirm this - I think it's visual-studio-code-bin - works great too! WAY faster and more solid than the headmelted build. Definitely worth upgrading.

I installed the latest OpenJDK and then installed the .tar.gz version.

snap is essentially useless on Pinebook Pro. You can only use a snap if it's been compiled for AARCH64, and I have yet to find any that have

I'm unable to install Oracle JDK on the Pinebook Pro, I need it for a plugin that I use which doesn't work with openJDK. I tried to build it from AUR but none of the versions are building.. I tried installing manually following this : https://pavelfatin.com/install-intellij-...pberry-pi/
java --version returns nothing and intelliJ doesn't launch. I really appreciate if someone can help me install Oracle JDK. Thanks.

I have not done this  myself,  but this should worK:

First you will need to download the tar.gz file which is, I believe, free but requires an Oracle account. 
 from downloads

Then see here for instructions.
