install Tizen studio 3.7 on Ubuntu 19.10 or 20.04?

Question

I am stuck on this warning while installing Tizen studio via package manager as it requires a preriquisite:

sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

running this command finds nothing. Following askubuntu forum I downloaded bunch of webkitgtk packages from here . Finally I got this error that demonstrates it requires more dependencies.

sudo dpkg -i '/home/rif/Downloads/w/libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-0ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb' 

error:

I have no idea what I should do to install this on Linux. How can I install it Tizen studio on Linux 20.04?

Answer 1

The easiest way to install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 on Ubuntu 19/20 for now is listed below

1. echo -e "# For Tizen studio\ndeb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tizen-bionic-libwebkitgtk.list
2. sudo apt update
3. sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

And once the libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is installed the user might face difficulty in installing libpng12 as well when trying to install any emulators.

Steps to install libpng12 are below

1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/libpng12
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install libpng12-0

After installing the libpng12 & libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 packages, user will be able to install any profile in Ubuntu 19 or Ubuntu 20.

Tizen Studio does not officially support Ubuntu 19 & Ubuntu 20 as of now. Official support for Ubuntu 20 LTS is expected soon

Answer 2

There is no libwebkitgtk-1.0 for Ubuntu 19.10 or 20.04: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

If you want libwebkitgtk-1.0 in Ubuntu 19.10/20.04, you will need to download its source code and try to build (probably with debuild) or install Ubuntu 18.04 in a docker.

Other Tizen tools are not yet officially supported in 19.10 or 20.04. Or you may contact admins and ask them to add another Ubuntu version support at https://launchpad.net/~tizen.org/+archive/ubuntu/pdk
