Tizen Studio Arch Guide

🇨🇳 ZH | 🇯🇵 JA | 🇰🇷 KO

The purpose of this guide is to assist in the installation of Tizen Studio on Arch Linux, specifically the CLI version, although the IDE version should technically work as well. The most challenging aspect of installing Tizen Studio on Arch Linux is dealing with outdated dependencies, such as gnome-doc-util, which cannot be compiled.

How-to

To install Tizen Studio on Arch Linux, follow the steps below:

1. Download the latest version of the Tizen Studio CLI from the Samsung Developer website.

2. Install all the necessary dependencies from the patch by running the following command:

   yay -S procps-ng gettext dbus curl expect gtk2 grep zip make qemu-user libpng12 webkitgtk2-bin
   

   Note: Some dependencies that take a long time to install or are troublesome have been excluded.

   yay -S webkitgtk2-bin
   

   To install webkitgtk2 binary version, you can compile it yourself by removing the -bin.

3. Install debtap from the AUR repository.

4. Download the binary for gnome-doc-utils from here or any other source.

5. Once you have successfully downloaded all the required files, run debtap gnome-doc-utils*deb.

6. The command will generate a .zst file that can be installed using pacman.

7. Use pacman -U to install the generated .zst file. Note that this method is not recommended, and it may break your system.

8. Install gnome-desktop2 using yay or any other package manager you use. Edit the PKGBUILD by adding --disable-desktop-docs on build().

   

9. After completing the above steps, apply the patch to this repository:

   patch -u -b web-cli_Tizen_Studio_5.1_ubuntu-64.bin -i tizen_studio_cli.patch
   

10. Finally, run the executable ./web-cli_Tizen_Studio_5.1_ubuntu-64.bin to complete the installation.

By following these steps, you should be able to install Tizen Studio on Arch Linux successfully.
