Installing Code::Blocks on Linux Mint

Check what version of Mint you have:

cat /etc/debian_version

This should be Buster for the following to work. If you are on Stretch, please refer to: https://wxstuff.xaviou.fr/article/debian-repository.html

Import repository key:

wget -O- https://apt.xaviou.fr/key.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Create repository list:

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/codeblocks.list

And insert following text:

deb https://apt.xaviou.fr/stable/ buster main
deb-src https://apt.xaviou.fr/stable/ buster main

Update your installation

sudo apt-get update

Now you are ready to install Code::Blocks from the packet manager or from the command line.

sudo apt-get install codeblocks
