Use Toolbx for development

You can use a Toolbx container as a rootless user for the installation of development tools, such as editors, compilers, and software development kits (SDKs). After installation, you can continue by using those tools as a rootless user.

Before you begin

  • The Toolbx container is created and is running. You entered the Toolbx container. You do not need to create the Toolbx container with root privileges. See Starting a Toolbx container.

Procedure

Install the tools of your choice, for example, the Emacs text editor, GCC compiler and GNU Debugger (GDB): 
⬢[user@toolbox ~]$ sudo dnf install emacs gcc gdb

Results

  • Verify that the tools are installed: 
    ⬢[user@toolbox ~]$  dnf repoquery --info --installed <package_name>
