Installation Guide for installing NetBeans IDE on Mac OS


If you have any problem you can also check the following link http://netbeans.org/community/releases/68/cpp-setup-instructions.html#compilers_mac

Or Go with the following:


 * This instruction assumes that you have installed the C++ plugins in NetBeans. **

Open XCode on your Mac and click on Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> More Developer Tools. Select the Command Line Tools for Xcode. Download and install these tools. You can close Xcode at this point. Open NetBeans and click NetBeans -> Preferences. An Options window appears. (This is the famous Options window to which NB keeps referring but is not located where they say it is.)

Click on the C/C++ tab. In the box that says Tool Collection: there are likely no tools listed. Or they are listed with the wrong base directory. Assuming there are no tools, click Add. A new window pops up and asks for base directory and tool collection name. You can choose to browse but the /usr directory may not be easy to find. So, my suggestion is to type in the base directory as /usr/bin or you can try to navigate to it. Make sure the Tool Collection Family and Tool Collection Name is GNU. OK.

Now, I am including a picture of the other information that needs to be completed in this window. I just copied and pasted the /usr/bin to each of the locations and then added the associated references. OK.

Restart NetBeans and you should be good to go! I hope this helps!!!! If anyone else knows a simpler way, please share



Installation Guide for installing NetBeans IDE on Ubuntu (Linux)
1.NetBeans comes with many installation files or packages. Different packages comes with different technology like Java EE/SE/ME, C/C++, Groovy. In this course we are interested for C/C++ package. Go to download NetBeans from its website as the following:

2. Choose the C/C++ package, download it to your PC. I recommended to download to your Downloads folder, download the C++ package as the following:

3.The downloaded file will be in *.sh file format. So Open the Terminal and run the following commands. (in my case the file is download in the Download folder so i have changed the directory to Download, if your download file location is anywhere else then change your location to that directory by simply running the command “**cd your_downloaded_directory_name**” )
 * cd Downloads**

4. Exceute the following commands...
 * sudo bash netbeans-7.0.1-ml-php-linux.sh**

(this will install the NetBeans IDE from the downloaded file) 5.Wait for some time until the installation gets completed. 6.To Open the NetBeans just search it in the search panel opens from the Ubuntu Home Button and start developing your applications.
