Installation Codeblocks Centos

Question

I’m a beginner in programming, I only did one course in college. I would like to install Codeblocks on Centos 7 (on a college machine) to edit a C program, but I’m having a hard time.

I downloaded the codeblocks-16.01.el6.i686.tar.xz file (via Sourceforge.net on the http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26) and extracts to a folder, then ran rpm -a and nothing appeared. I can’t use the yum command.

What should I do?

By the way, there are downloads of Codeblocks p 32 and 64 bit versions, how do I know which one to download?

Answer 1

It is not enough to download and "extract", after unpacking Oce needs to install, if the file you downloaded contributes the sources, Oce will have to compile, usually has a file called README, which has the instructions for this. If the downloaded file contains only the distribution packages, then Voce will have to use the distro installer for this. I downloaded a cent-os file from the link you left and the content are packages rpm, to install them, do:

$ rpm -i nome-do-pacote-1.2.3.rpm

To see your distro information (32 or 64 for example), do:

$ uname -a
