I am trying to download the SimpleIDE program onto my computer however it uses an Ubuntu Linux operating system. To properly download the program, a 'sudo apt-get' program is required to use in the terminal. Does parallax have one or is there one available for SimpleIDE?

    Ubuntu comes with both sudo and apt-get - they are both integral parts of Ubuntu. Does the command give you an error message when you run it? If so, what is it?

    sudo runs a program (in this case, apt-get) as a different user (the superuser by default). apt-get installs a package (simpleide, in this case).

    SimpleIDE works on pretty much any operating system. What are you using?

    You can download the different versions from http://learn.parallax.com/node/640

    You cannot install SimpleIDE with apt-get as it does not exist in any repository where apt could download it from.

    Download the latest version from here: http://learn.parallax.com/propeller-c-set-simpleide/linux and install it with dpkg:
    sudo dpkg -i simple-ide_1-0-1-rc1_amd64.deb

    Or double-click on the saved deb file. That should auto-detect it's a package and start the install process for you.

    It would be cool to see SimpleIDE in apt.
