- -If you are having trouble with installing any of the following, please feel free to reach out to veteran programming members on Discord.
+Make sure you’re on a 64-bit Windows version with an Intel or AMD CPU. All Windows 11 installations are 64-bit. If you’re on Windows 10, you can check this in the Control Panel:
+Click Start, type system in the search box, and, under Control Panel, click System.
Note
+If System isn’t listed under Control Panel in the search results, click Control Panel to see more results.
+Under System, look at the System type entry. It will say either 32-bit Operating System or 64-bit Operating System.
Make sure you’re on a 64-bit (amd64 or arm64) distribution which uses glibc (which includes most popular distros such as Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Arch, elementary OS, Fedora, Enterprise Linux, and SuSE).
+Our choice of project-management software is Git. If you do not have it installed already, do so at its official website (Select 32-bit if your computer was made before 2003). All the default options are fine, feel free to spam “next”.
+Our choice of project-management software is Git.
+If you do not have it installed already, do so at its official website (select the 64-bit standalone installer). All the default options are fine, feel free to spam “next”.
+Download git from your distribution. If you don’t know how to do that, please ask Ethan or Georgi.
On Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and other distros that use apt or apt-get:
sudo apt install git
+There are many JDKs (Java Development Kits) available online but Temurin is a great option. Choose OpenJDK 16 (LTS) and HotSpot JVM.
+Your distribution should have a JDK available to download. If not, you can use WPILib’s JDK by adding the following to your ~/.bashrc or other shell configuration file:
export PATH="$HOME/wpilib/2024/jdk/bin/:$PATH"
+export JAVA_HOME="$HOME/wpilib/2024/jdk/bin/"
+If you’re on Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, or some other apt-based distribution, you can install the system-recommended JDK using
sudo apt install default-jdk
+The WPIlib suite is necessary to run robot code. Follow instructions in the official docs. It might say that you have a limited free trial but in reality it will never run out (similar to WinRAR). When choosing the VSCode option, select standalone install. Java will be included, but if you already have it installed it shouldn’t interfere.
+Please use my script to install these tools. Make sure that ~/.local/bin is on your $PATH.
To run the script, you must have a display (X11 or Wayland) and a network connection.
+curl -o- -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethanc8/FRCLinuxDevKit/master/install-online.sh | bash
+If you also want to install the WPILib extension into your main VSCode or VSCodium installation, please set the environment variable FLDK_INSTALL_EXT_DESTINATION to the name of the command that launches VSCode (which is code for Microsoft binaries, code-oss if you compiled it yourself, and codium for VSCodium). For example:
curl -o- -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethanc8/FRCLinuxDevKit/master/install-online.sh | FLDK_INSTALL_EXT_DESTINATION=code bash
+Phoenix Tuner X is the diagnostics tool for CTRE devices (e.g. Falcon 500 motors). It is available on the Microsoft Store.
+This is completely optional. It’s a kind of involved process, and isn’t useful unless you need to debug the motor controllers or other CTRE peripherals.
+These instructions assume that you’re on a Debian/Ubuntu system and are currently in a Wayland session.
+First, install the Android rootfs and userspace libraries:
+sudo apt install curl ca-certificates -y
+curl https://repo.waydro.id | sudo bash
+sudo apt install waydroid -y
+sudo waydroid init
+waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.multi_windows true
+waydroid session stop
+Now, download and install Phoenix Tuner X:
+wget https://github.com/ethanc8/someblobs/releases/download/phoenix-tuner-x-2024.6.1.0/Tuner.X_2024.6.1.0_apkcombo.com.apk
+waydroid app install "./Tuner X*.apk"
+waydroid app launch com.ctre.phoenix_tuner
+REV Hardware Client is the REV-specific diagnostics tool for REV devices (e.g. SPARK MAX). Follow installation instructions on its official page.
+Unfortunately, REV Hardware Client is currently not available for Linux.
+Install Apache Maven only if you are an experienced FRC programming member and wish to contribute to TitanAlgorithms. Make sure Maven is in your PATH.
WPIlib support on Linux is unofficial and may not work correctly (use at your own risk). Follow installation instructions on Ethan Charoenpitaks’es repository. More info regarding deployment can be found in this thread
