In this article, I’ll start with the basics, and give you other cool tips along the way in order to do more with Geany on Raspberry Pi.īy the way, if you get overwhelmed as soon as Python is required for a project, I recommend checking out my e-book “ Master Python on Raspberry Pi“. There is a built-in terminal to compile and run scripts directly in it, and many other settings to save time while coding (like shortcuts and productivity options). Geany is a solid editor to use on Raspberry Pi as it’s preinstalled with Raspberry Pi OS and perfect to code in Python or C/C++. I’ve used Geany for years on my Ubuntu PC at work, so I’ll share with you a few tips in this article to get started with Geany on Raspberry Pi. This lean and mean IDE will keep everything as straightforward and tidy as possible- just like Geany itself.Geany is a lightweight text editor that is pre-installed on Raspberry Pi, and can be used to code in Python or any other language. If the program you’ve written is only a simple Java creature- run it, and the output will come through your terminal. What you get after pressing ‘run’ depends on what you’ve written.
Just click a button and it compiles everything for you, click another and your creation will run. Geany is very stable, reliable, and predictable.Ĭompiling your code and running it couldn’t be easier. You want an IDE that doesn’t switch things up on you. If you’re an experienced programmer, you know it’s best when you can fall into habits that are routine and comfortable. Syntax highlighting, line numbers, automatic brace closing, parenthesis, and more- all do precisely what you expect them to with no unpleasant surprises. In addition to being lightweight, Geany is powerful, non-interruptive, and displays everything you need handily. From there, you can open new files and choose the file type for the language you want to use. All compiler messages appear in the box at the bottom- and this is indispensable for debugging code. When you start it up, (and it opens fast!), you’ll be presented with a tidy, no-frills interface and plenty of space to work. Geany supports all the major relevant programming languages and has all the features that you expect with an IDE such as line numbering and syntax highlighting. Compared to Eclipse, its only real competition, Geany is equal in every way, but lighter. My opinion is that there are only two good IDEs available at the moment, and Geany is one. The code is GNU licensed, so you can use it as you like, just keep your hands off the innards. Only the Windows, (surprise), Geany port is missing a few features. You should be able to use this editor on any platform supported by GTK libraries. Geany runs under every major OS, as well as FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, AIX v5.3, and Solaris Express. Build system to compile and execute code If you’ve got that together, you’re not likely to have any problems with it. Geany only needs GTK2 runtime libraries to function. It was designed to be speedy and easy to use, with only a few package dependencies- independent from specialized Desktop Environments like KDE and GNOME. Geany is a lightweight, quick, and responsive Integrated Development Environment (IDE). You can download the Geany version for other operating systems from the " Third Party Packages" page. Note: Considering the official homepage of Geany listed only the Microsoft® Windows® and Mac® OS X® versions and offered the versions for the other OS on a separate page, FossHub will also contain only these two versions. Trademark Note 2: Mac and OS X are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S.
Trademark Note 1: Microsoft®, Windows® and other product names are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.
Its interface is similar to the editors designed for Microsoft® Windows® such as Notepad++ or Programmer's Notepad while it has the advantage of being ported to many OS such as Microsoft® Windows®, Mac® OS X®, Linux, BSD and even Solaris. It offers support for a wide range of programming and markup languages (C++, C, Java, Python, PHP, HTML, CSS, etc.). Geany is a small, free text editor that makes use of Scintilla and GTK+, along with basic IDE features.
