This is a brief guide to setting up Debian 13 Linux for CS 2810. This should work for Ubuntu 24.04 as well, but Debian is the preferred system for this course.
Start by doing a system update from the command line:
sudo apt -y update && sudo apt -y upgrade
Then install the tools we will need:
sudo apt -y install live-task-standard live-task-recommended build-essential curl clang clang-tidy libclang-rt-dev lld lldb git micro vim qemu-user-binfmt
If that succeeds then it means your Linux installation is working and up-to-date.
