Description

Introduction

C++ development on Linux combines the power of a versatile programming language with a robust operating system widely used in enterprise and server environments. This setup is popular for systems programming, performance-critical applications, and cross-platform development, thanks to C++’s efficiency and Linux’s rich development tools.

Prerequisites of C++ Development on Linux

1. Basic Understanding of C++: Familiarity with core C++ concepts like syntax, functions, classes, and memory management.
2. Linux Fundamentals: Knowledge of Linux command-line basics, file navigation, and basic shell scripting.
3. Development Environment:
   • Text Editor or IDE: Options include Visual Studio Code, CLion, or Vim.
   • Compiler: Install GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) or Clang for compiling C++ code.
4. Build Tools:
   • Make or CMake for automating compilation.
   • Familiarity with version control tools, especially Git, is beneficial.
