How to set up a local environment of C programming on Linux Machine?

Question

I am a newbie and using fedora machine, please help with point by point C programming setup.

Answer 1

Almost all the Linux machine is comes with gcc package installed.
Either you are using Fedor, Ubuntu, CentOs, Mint, etc.

So basically you don't have to do anything apart from checking is your machine has gcc package or not.
If not then install it using below command.
For Fedora:
yum install gcc
For Ubuntu:
apt-get install gcc

Remember you have to use the above as supper user.

After installing cerate a .c file write your code.
compile it with gcc filename.c

For more option of gcc try to see the manual page of gcc using "man gcc"

Answer 2

Check if gcc is already installed as follows

$ gcc -v

You will get something like

Using built-in specs.
Target: xxx
Configured with: xxx
Thread model: posix
gcc version xxx

If GCC is not installed, then you will have to install from http://gcc.gnu.org/install/
