19.2. Using Toolbx for development
You can use a Toolbx container as a rootless user for installation of development tools, such as editors, compilers, and software development kits (SDKs). After installation, you can continue using those tools as a rootless user.
Prerequisites
- 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 Toolbox 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
Verification
Verify that the tools are installed:
⬢[user@toolbox ~]$ dnf repoquery --info --installed <package_name>
