Work on Google Apps Script locally on Ubuntu

Question

I need to work on an existing Google apps script project that I received from Github. I understood how to work with the code on the Google web IDE, but it is not convenient since I have to create all the files manually and cannot have the advantages of Github.

I am looking for a way to work locally on the code. I saw that it seems possible with clasp but I couldn't install it on my Ubuntu 18.04.

I tried the following link for example.

Is there a way to to do it? Whatever the IDE, as soon as I can work locally I will be satisfy.

Thank you.

Answer 1

That's not the clasp that will work with apps script. That refers to a Common lisp implementation. You're looking for @google/clasp .

Install it:

npm install -g @google/clasp
