Raspberry Pi web IDE

Post by mwalimu »

Has anybody tried the Raspberry Pi Wed IDE? I loaded it up on my Pi and it works like a charm! My first project will be porting Roomba.py and running my roomba bots over the web.

The second thing I did was try it on my Beaglebone. It builds and almost works. If I direct Chrome to the beaglebone's IP, I can't get the editor, but I do get the cloud9 icon on the browser tab, which tells me that something is up and running.

I tried it tonight. Installed without a hitch, and I'm really quite blown away by it. Such a smart solution -- I can now get rid of my keyboard, mouse, and video connections! I didn't even know you could open a remote terminal window in a browser, and the whole IDE is really clean and intuitive. Can't wait to see it evolve.

I did run into a problem though -- when clicking "Run" I get an error in the terminal:

no access to /dev/mem. Try running as root!

If I run the same command manually, preceded by sudo, it works. Any idea how I can give WebIDE the proper permissions? I'm pretty green when it comes to Linux.

Following up on my own post, I see this is a known issue and is discussed on the bug tracker here:

I just switched to occidentalis, installed Putty and WebIDE . Putty gives me remote access - works great!
However, I am unable to use WebIDE.
Here is the terminal output showing the ( apparently) successful installation of WebIDE:
------------------------------
Starting process checker: No processes defined in config file. Exiting.
restartd.
**** Create webide user and group ****
**** Adding webide user to sudoers ****
/etc/sudoers.tmp: parsed OK
/etc/sudoers.d/README: parsed OK
**** Adding default .bashrc file for webide user ****
**** Installing the WebIDE as a service ****
**** (to uninstall service, execute: 'sudo update-rc.d -f adafruit-webide.sh remove') ****
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
**** Starting the server...(please wait) ****
**** The Adafruit WebIDE is installed and running! ****
**** Commands: sudo service adafruit-webide.sh {start,stop,restart} ****
**** Navigate to http://raspberrypi.local to use the WebIDE
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/Adafruit-WebIDE# ls
config COPYRIGHT helpers package.json README.md scripts test views
controllers GNU-AGPL-3.0 logs public release server.js tmp
---------------------
When I navigate to http://raspberrypi.local the page is not found.

I don't know enough yet about how this works to solve it.
Anybody else had this problem?
