I'm a beginner in programming, I just did a subject in college. I would like to install CodeBlocks on CentOS 7 (on a college machine) to edit a C program, but I'm having a hard time.
I downloaded codeblocks-16.01.el6.i686.tar.xz (via Sourceforge.net on the link page. ) and extract it to a folder, then run rpm -e nothing appeared. I can not use the yum command.
What should I do?
Incidentally, there are downloads of CodeBlocks p versions of 32 and 64 bits, how do I know which one to download?
Do not just download and "extract", after decompressing you need to install, if the file that you downloaded contriver the sources, you will have to compile, usually has a file called README, which has the instructions for it. If the downloaded file only contains distribution packages, then there is no way, you will have to use the distro installer for this. I downloaded a cent file from the link you left and the content is rpm packages, to install them, do:
$ rpm -i nome-do-pacote-1.2.3.rpm
To see information about your distro (32 or 64, for example), do:
$ uname -a
