Version: 9.21.369

Setting up winIDEA with Native OS Package Manager

Following page describes how to install the required software for running winIDEA using the native package manager from supported distribution for Ubuntu/Debian.

 

 

Supported operating systems

winIDEA on Linux relies on WineHQ. The list of supported Linux distributions follows the requirements for running the latest stable branch of Wine:

•Current LTS versions of Ubuntu

•The latest stable version of Debian

 

 

Installation steps

1. Update glibc++.

Some distributions may provide an outdated version of libstdc++ (e.g., Ubuntu 22.04). To update from the PPA:

$ lib_ver_glibcxx_filter="GLIBCXX_3.4.32"
$ if [ $(strings /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep ${lib_ver_glibcxx_filter} | wc -l) -eq 0 ]; then sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test && sudo apt update && sudo apt install --yes --only-upgrade libstdc++6; fi

 

2. Enable WineHQ repository.

These steps follow WineHQ’s official instructions:

$ . /etc/lsb-release
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings
$ wget -O - https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key -
$ sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/${DISTRIB_CODENAME}/winehq-${DISTRIB_CODENAME}.sources

 

3. Enable TASKING repository.

$ TASKING_URL="https://www.isystem.com/downloads/linux/debian"
$ wget -O - ${TASKING_URL}/tasking.asc | sudo gpg --dearmour -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/tasking.gpg
$ sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ${TASKING_URL}/tasking.sources

 

4. Install winIDEA with corresponding dependencies.

You have two options depending on your installation type:

a. Install the winidea package which this automatically installs the Tasking Run-time Environment (TRTE) if it is not already present.

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install winidea

 

b. If you are using a portable winIDEA installation, you need to install the TRTE meta package manually:

$ sudo apt update

$ sudo apt install trte

 

5. Run winIDEA with basic environment.

$ winidea
