Finally, you will be asked to register your copy of CLion with the account you created earlier. There will be a number of options you need to select only the first time the IDE is run, like the choice of background (pick whichever you prefer, I will use the white one because it projects better in class), toolchain configuration (which compiler you will be using - it could take a couple minutes for CLion to detect Cygwin properly) and choice of plugins (you can choose the defaults).
CLION FOR STUDENTS INSTALL
Once the install is completed, run CLion for the first time. During the install, I recommend that you create a Desktop icon and you associate.
CLION FOR STUDENTS PASSWORD
You will need this account and your password to register CLion when you install it.Ĭlick on this link to go to the CLion download page, and download and install CLion. Maybe some packages sometimes need to be installed in a first round before other packages can be installed.Ĭlick on this link to go to the JetBrains page and create a student account using your email address. Note that the setup program is sometimes a little fickle, and you may need to run it one or two more times to have everything we need installed. This should start the installation of Cygwin. Once that's done, you can click "Next" and take the default option for all the following choices. You can click on the images to make them bigger Follow the instructions on the following four images to get them. We just need to add a few packages to have the compiler and tools we need.įirst, switch to the "Full" view for the packages: Initially, the setup program should have picked all the default options for a Cygwin install. This is where things get a little tricky. Then, after selecting the install directory (where Cygwin will be on your computer) and local package directory (where all the downloaded files will initially go) of your choosing, when asked about the type of your internet connection, select "Direct Connection"įeel free to pick any site you want, just make sure that you don't pick the same as your neighbors (please don't all pick the first one), otherwise downloading will be quite slow.Īfter that, you will be asked to select the packages you would like to install. Once you are past the initial screen, select that you want to install cygwin from the internet: Feel free to ask me if you would like to learn more about it and do a more complete installation.įirst, you need the Setup executable, which you can get here. We will only do a bare-bones installation of it since we will use it only for the C++ compiler it contains.

If you have a Mac, please go to this page.Ĭygwin provides a Linux-like environment for Windows users.

The instructions here are for Windows users only. This page contains the instructions to install the C++ compiler (as part of Cygwin) and the Integrated Development Environment - CLion - that we will use this semester.
CLION FOR STUDENTS SOFTWARE
While we do have a very short lab exercise for you this week, the focus of this lab session is downloading and installing the software we will need this semester. Sometimes, when necessary, we will also discuss the content of the coming programming assignment.
CLION FOR STUDENTS SERIES
A typical lab session usually consists of a few demos, followed by a series of exercises on the content we have just seen in class. This week is a little unusual in that we haven't really learned enough to start a typical CS35 lab.
