Stories similar to How Do I Install Geany and other Software i don't see in the Repositories?

Geany is a fast and lightweight text editor and IDE for Linux. Geany 1.22 was released recently with many new features.

Geany comes with a few plugins installed by default, however there are many other useful plugins maintained by community.

While learning Programming we do need tools to make our work simpler. One such tool is Geany which is basically a text editor with IDE like features, and focuses on simplicity rather than features. It supports a variety of languages which include (but not limited to) C, Java, JavaScript, PHP, HTML, CSS, Python, Perl, Ruby, Pascal and Haskell.

I actually want to change the default text editor on my Ubuntu 12.04 from nano to Geany. When I used this code:

update-alternatives --config editor

Changing Geany themes 13 weeks 6 days ago

Hi all,I'm trying to download and install darker Geany colour themes but I can't seem to make it work. (The Geany info is a little opaque to me) and I'm wondering if anyone using the default Geany of #! has changed their colour themes.How did you do it?

Installed geany has no options 22 weeks 6 days ago

I'm new to geany IDE. I installed geany from ubuntu software centre, and the window has no options other than opening a new file. I can't file any preference, tools option too for configuring.

I heard it is a full fledged IDE. Also, from the screenshots available from the software center, it seems my Geany installation is missing almost everything.

Docky and Geany V1.22 5 weeks 5 days ago

..hmm, no replies. I guess its something peculiar to my install then. Anyway, no need for an IDE at the moment so Geany is removed. Still curious as to how opening Geany would kill Docky though..

I just installed Kubuntu 13.04 normally from a DVD. Then, using Synaptics Package Manager, I installed geany and its plugins, which I have been using for years now).

Software Repositories are part of the magic that gives you access to untold amounts of open source software. In a single command, you can install a whole myriad of applications. For OpenSUSE 11.3, I have put together a simple bash script that will set up a bunch of great repositories. Each one is entered, set to autorefresh, and then refreshed immediately.

Surprisingly, Linux doesn’t offer that many good IDE’s (Integrated Development Environments). I believe this is because back in the day most Linux programmers took out good old Notepad (or gedit in this case), and started coding from that.However, I’m glad to know that there are now two really good IDEs out there, and Geany is one of them.
