Intel XDK not working on Centos 7 64bits (vmware v

Question

I'm trying to work with Intel XDK (Inside Centos 7 64 bits vmware machine).

I've executed the install with sudo.

Everything seems OK after finishing the installation. Then I've tried to run the application, but nothing shows up.

Also I've tried reinstalling over again all as root, but still nothing.

Any hint?

Answer 1

Follow these steps to be able to start the latest version of Intel XDK and get it working

On CentOS Linux 7.2 or 7.3 (7.2.1511 , 7.3.1611)

STEP 1:

Download the latest release

https://xdk2-installers.s3.amazonaws.com/xdk/xdk_web_linux64_master_3900.tgz

Or direct download from Intel web site:

STEP 2:

• Extract the files and go to the rpm folder

• Open in Terminal

• Install the rpm package like this: rpm -iv --nodeps intel-xdk-pset-3759.0-0.noarch.rpm

STEP 3:

Unfortunately the previous install will not be complete, for some reason, so the solution I found is that we have to decompress the

file: intel-xdk-3759.0.0.tgz and copy/paste the content to /opt/intel/XDK

STEP 4:

Correct the symbolic link file libudev.so.0

First remove that link from the /opt/intel/XDK folder,

and then run: ln -s /usr/lib64/libudev.so.1 ./libudev.so.0 in a terminal

FINAL STEP:

Start Intel XDK:

./xdk.sh

Note:

• Installing directly from the XDK source file is not possible because the installer is not able to find that gtk2 is already installed correctly, if so, in a CentOS system.
