I am from Hong Kong and I have some problems when I was trying to install SpriteBuilder. SpriteBuilder cannot be found in Hong Kong's App Store,so I need to install it from Github. With zero Github experience, I try to follow the instructions from the file, README.md , to install SpriteBuilder.
What do I need to do to open SpriteBuilder after input these code
git clone https://github.com/apportable/SpriteBuilder
cd SpriteBuilder
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd scripts
./build_distribution.py --version 1.x
and wait until it finish the install ?
Thanks a lot and I will be extremely grateful if anyone can help me to solve this problem.
As SpriteBuilder is no longer available at any store, there is a link to the last 1.4.9 installation:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8kf5zfeg5haaeb1/SpriteBuilder-1.4.9.zip?dl=0
This is by far the best tool for 2d games development imo, even with 2 years without updates (or maybe is because that jeje)

Very nooby question, but I'm trying to install Atom text editor on Raspbian Stretch. Is it possible? I've heard because it runs on Electron, it's quite slow for Raspbian. I keep getting an error saying:
E: Unable to locate package atom
I'm following the official instructions for Debian. How can I fix this?
As of today you can't install the official package provided for Debian for its mismatching the hardware platform. Provided binary is for running on x86 hardware, but RPi doesn't come with an Intel/AMD processor, but ARM. So, you most probably need to build it from source yourself.
Primer
So, if you really want to build this from source, you should be aware of the waste of disk space caused by the IMHO poorly implemented build tool which is downloading tons of deps and copying and transpiling code around so you'll end up with 2GB+ of files with 80% accounting to dependencies, only. Since my RPi works with 8GB smartcard, only, I couldn't ever meet the need for disk space even though I was bleeding out Linux by manually removing docs, manpages, locales, ton's of outdated and mostly unused apps etc. The build also requires a whole build tooling chain, tons of dev packages for libraries, so there is a limit to milk the system ... 8GB disk drive simply isn't enough for this.
Eventually I tried moving all the files to a USB pen drive. But that drive must be formatted using a filesystem capable of symlinking. So you can't use vfat or FAT32. I didn't succeed to get a 16GB stick formatted with either version of extfs. The mkfs always ended up in a deadlock on trying to write its superblocks. Astonishingly, I couldn't even kill the mkfs with -KILL, but unplugging the drive did help in that case.
So, as a conclusion: here is a short list of steps I passed in expectation to get this working, but in the end I didn't finish due to the memory issues above. And frankly, I stopped caring ... I'd rather work with nano/vi in a terminal than using this ridiculous lego-like built software. I guess, atom is today's version of emacs with regards to the latter's acronym. Maybe you succeed with this, but I won't ...
Build from Source
Inspired by https://discuss.atom.io/t/atom-on-the-raspberry-pi/33332
Install toolchain for building native stuff
sudo apt-get install build-essential git libgnome-keyring-dev fakeroot gconf2 gconf-service libgtk2.0-0 libudev1 libgcrypt20 python rpm libsecret-1-dev xorg-dev
This set of tools was sufficient to build core files without error. Since I didn't start with a fresh installation of Raspbian there might have been some tool I have been using before, so maybe in your case there are more tools to be installed here. Look out for error messages in early stage of building and try to see if some library or header file isn't found. This mostly indicates lack of some package with name ending in -dev to be installed, too. Start by searching for the package using apt search <name-of-mentioned-library> and look for a package combining the missing library's name with suffix -dev. Then install it the usual way by invoking sudo apt-get install <package-name>.
Install up-to-date nodejs
Raspbian Stretch comes with support for NodeJS 8.11 which is basically okay. Install it and its package manager npm using this command:
sudo apt-get install node-js npm
Check installed versions with
node -v
npm -v
This should display 8.x.x on behalf of NodeJs. Use n afterwards if you want to step up:
sudo npm i -g n
sudo n lts
This will switch NodeJS to latest LTS release, which is 10.x as of now. Upgrading NodeJS is optional, but feel advised to always use latest version of npm:
sudo npm i -g npm
Check if upgrades succeeded:
node -v
npm -v
Adjust configuration of npm and install some essential dep:
sudo npm config set -g python /usr/bin/python2
sudo npm i -g node-gyp
Build Atom
Get the source. One option is to pull latest code from its repository:
git clone https://github.com/atom/atom.git
This is creating subfolder atom containing all source files. You might want to download sources of a recent release instead. But this tutorial was made with the sources fetched from Github. So make sure there is subfolder called atom containing sources similar to the ones fetched above.
It's time to start the beast:
cd atom
./script/build
This process will take a while. And it is the culprit that never finished on success in my case due to eating up all disk space over and over again.
Whenever the script fails on error, try to analyze the error, find the cause, fix it, then start the script by repeating the last command above again. If you don't remove any file in subfolder atom in between, the build script keeps passing steps of building atom it has passed successfully before.
Install atom
According to the original tutorial linked before the script should finish on success eventually. Then it's time to install with:
./script/grunt install
I guess this is causing atom to be available as a command from CLI. So, try it out. If everything looks fine you are finally ready to remove the waste of files in subfolder atom.
Feel free to report if this was working in your case.
From what I recall Atom runs 64-bit architecture; need the latest raspberry Pi.
run the following
wget https://atom.io/download/deb && dpkg -i deb
Background
I suddenly started getting a Meteor error:
~/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool/.1.4.0-1.1b1o7uq++os.osx.x86_64+web.browser+web.cordova/mt-os.osx.x86_64/dev_bundle/lib/node_modules/fibers/bin/darwin-x64-v8-4.5/fibers.node is missing. Try reinstalling node-fibers?`
After extensive searching, I came to the conclusion that there isn't a known, straight-forward solution to this problem.
Possible Solution
I created a new Meteor project and that works. This is because it is at the latest version of Meteor, and fibers.node is properly installed in the 1.6 (latest version) directory.
The best solution looks to be removing my live project directory and recreating it with the same name (at Meteor's latest version) and then retrieving all the packages, settings and files (HTML, JS, CSS)
Question
What is the best way to do this so that:
I preserve all the packages that I have installed (there are many)
I preserve all the custom settings that have changed from default
I am able to bring all my files (I am assuming this will be simple copy of *.html, *.css and *.js from the original project)
I was able to resolve the error:
~/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool/.1.4.0-1.1b1o7uq++os.osx.x86_64+web.browser+web.cordova/mt-os.osx.x86_64/dev_bundle/lib/node_modules/fibers/bin/darwin-x64-v8-4.5/fibers.node is missing. Try reinstalling node-fibers?
so did not need to go down the reinstalling project path.
I followed the steps in the accepted answer on this thread:
How can I completely uninstall and then reinstall Meteor.js?
Specifically:
mv .meteor .meteor.bak
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/meteor
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm/
curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
meteor --version -> This will pull the required package for the version your project is at.
When I hit F1 while the cursor marks a classname in the source code, I get the message on the right side of my IDE: "No documentation available."
How can I fix this?
I run Qt on Linux Mint 17.1 and I'm just getting familiar with Linux :-)
Thank you.
As #WCoder suggested, run:
rm -fr ~/.local/share/QtProject* ~/.config/QtProject*
In addition, install Qt, the latest version of which is 5.5.1 at the time of writing this post: https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.5/5.5.1/
In Qt Creator, go to Tools → Options → Help → Documentation and add all the *.qch files in ~/Qt5.5.1/Docs/Qt-5.5 and the one in ~/Qt5.5.1/QtWebView/1.1/ (assuming you installed Qt into your home directory, ~/ ).
I had a strange problem (freeze after start QtCreator) and I got it fixed after remove the diretory ~/.config/QtProject
May be this is a problem too: ~/.local/share/QtProject
You can reload the help files with the qtcreator options.
In case QtCreator was installed from a system repository via sudo apt install qtcreator then one will need sudo apt install qt5-doc to get IDE's integrated help files.
I have to install natural node in a meteor project. But for that I need to install npm so for that I am using this command "mrt add np". But it not showing anythiing means going in infinite loop. But when I tried to install natural node using command "npm install natural", it got install. Why so??
But for perperly installing natural I need to follow these steps:
"Installing natural package in a meteor application" but when I am doing that basic command is not working. How can I proceed with rest of the things.
Any pointers please. Thanks in advance
Meteorite obtains all the packages from
atmosphere.meteor.com:443
which seems to be down at the moment. Npm doesn't depend thereon, that's why npm install works for you. A solution for you might be adding the git url to the package in the smart.json à la
"somepackage": {
"git":"https://github.com/somegreatgithubber/somepackage.git"
}
Hope that helps, kind regards!
Installed Qt Creator 2.8 in ArchLinux
Installed qt5-* (* as every related package) using pacman
examples were not available in the repositories so I used the one in the AUR, qt5-examples
examples are installed under /usr/share/doc/qt/examples
qmake-qt5 -query says:
QT_SYSROOT:
QT_INSTALL_PREFIX:/usr
QT_INSTALL_ARCHDATA:/usr/lib/qt
QT_INSTALL_DATA:/usr/share/qt

QT_HOST_LIBS:/usr/lib
QMAKE_SPEC:linux-g++
QMAKE_XSPEC:linux-g++
QMAKE_VERSION:3.0
QT_VERSION:5.1.0
which means examples are in the right place
But they are not shown in Qt Creator!
How can I bring them in qtcreator?
PS: I don't wanna forget about the solution and install SDK.
I know OP asked for archlinux but I faced the same issue with Ubuntu 20.04. To solve it I had to install the following two packages:
sudo apt-get install qtbase5-examples qtbase5-doc-html
This will show the basic widget examples.
Additional examples (e.g. qt quick) can be added by installing them explicitly:
sudo apt install qtquickcontrols2-5-examples
To actually get them displayed in qtcreator I had to install:
sudo apt install qt5-doc qt5-doc-html
Here is the output of echo $(apt-mark showmanual | grep -P '(libqt|qt)')
cmake-qt-gui qt5-default qt5-doc qt5-doc-html qtbase5-dev qtbase5-doc-html qtbase5-examples qtcreator qtquickcontrols2-5-examples
Edit:
Also make sure to install the qml modules you need, for example:
sudo apt install qml-module-qtquick-controls2
QtCreator Examples are added in Official Repository 'Extra'
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/qt5-examples/
install it using :-
sudo pacman -S qt5-examples
Navigate to the installation location of the examples and open the .pro project file with qt-creator.
Alternatively if you just want to build and run the example. Navigate to the directory qmake and then make and then simple run the output
Additionally if you strictly require the examples to show in the IDE, try launching with admin privileges as the installation directory of the examples may require admin privileges.
My situation is that qt example folder has no permission to read and execute for non-root users, fixed it and everything OK. In your case:
sudo chmod +rx /usr/share/doc/qt/examples
I am also using archlinux and have had the same problem. Despite not having the examples & demo installed the qmake-qt5 -query is printing a non-existence path.
It seems Qt5 examples are now on AUR(Arch User Repository).
To get the them
Download https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt/qt5-examples/qt5-examples.tar.gz
Extract the package maybe with $ tar xzf qt5-examples.tar.gz
cd qt5-examples which contains the PKGBUILD . Then run makepkg .This will download 165MB qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.0.tar.xz
Run pacman -U qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.0.tar.xz
Qtcreator cannot detect the example without its html file.
So, in my case I've already installed qtbase5-examples, but could not able to see examples in qtcreator.
After,
sudo apt-get install qtbase5-doc-html
examples are visible in qtcreator. It was the same with qt5serialport-examples.
sudo apt-get install qt5serialport-examples qtserialport5-doc-html
Have a nice one.
make sure you run the qt-opensource-linux-x86-android-5.4.0.run like this:
$sudo ./qt-opensource-linux-x86-android-5.4.0.run
please do not forget the "sudo"
or you will find that the examples in the qtcreator is missing.
