How to install latest Code::Blocks from tar.xz?
Solution 1:
You should extract downloaded archive with
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/project/codeblocks/Binaries/17.12/Linux/Debian%20stable/codeblocks_17.12-1_amd64_stable.tar.xz
tar -xf codeblocks_17.12-1_amd64_stable.tar.xz
Then install extracted deb-packages:
sudo dpkg -i *17.12*.deb
And finally install missed dependencies:
sudo apt-get install -f
Please note that codeblocks-contrib will be removed on 16.04 LTS and on 18.04 LTS because of missed libhunspell-1.4-0 dependency.
Do not forget to install compiler such as GCC.
