How to Install c9 SSH on Google Cloud
- Getting Started
- Create a Project
- Create Your Virtual Machine
- SSH Login into Your Machine
- Install Dependencies
- Install c9-ssh
To start with google cloud, you'll need:
- A google account,
- A google developers account.
First you create a Project:
Change it to whatever you wish, this right here isn't that important.
Now you should see a notification showing you that your project is being created, it'll let you know when it is finished.
Now we need to create a virtual machine for c9 SSH. So click on Create Instance right underneath "Spin up a Compute Engine VM"
Now we wait until the creation process has finished. Once that is ready, click on "Create Instance" as soon as it is visible.
You should see a form with quite a few options, but for this tutorial let's just change a couple items:
Now it's another waiting game, so give this process a few minutes to provision and boot up your new virtual machine.
Once your machine is ready, you should see a screen that looks like this:
Go ahead and click on the SSH button. Do note, sometimes it'll stall or error, this is only going to happen after you first create a VM. Sometimes the VM indicates as ready but it is still booting up! So if you run into an error, just wait a couple minutes then try again.
Once you login you should see a new browser window that works just like a shell terminal:
It's important to note that these machines you get from Google don't come with everything that c9 depends on. So let's first install the dependencies:
sudo yum update && sudo yum install libevent-devel ncurses-devel glibc-static gcc python gcc-c++ -y
This process will take quite some time, so feel free to take a few minute break or watch all the files download/install on your system.
Once the install is finished, type in the following command:
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c9/install/master/install.sh | bash
You are now all set!
