How do I install STS on Ubuntu? I already downloaded the compressed STS tar.gz file from spring.io.
Go to the STS download page at http://spring.io/tools/sts/all , choose linux and your architecture(x86-x64). Once the download is finished, go to the downloaded directory and extract the . zip file into a convenient directory of your choice. Open the extracted sts-bundle directory, right click STS then just click run.
Download SpringToolSuite as per the operating system to the local machine. Move the downloaded JAR file to the corresponding folder. Unzip this JAR file and open the corresponding folder. Click on the SpringToolSuite4 Application file.
Ubuntu users can run sudo apt-get install maven . Spring Boot dependencies use the org. springframework. boot groupId .
Step 1: Download the latest Spring Tool Suite for Linux from STS official website: http://spring.io/tools/sts/all
Step 2: Extract into any folder which you prefer. My extracted Spring Tool Suite locations is /home/harishshan/springsource
Step 3: Create the Menu icon for quick access
sudo vim /usr/share/applications/STS.desktop
Step 4: Enter the following content
[Desktop Entry] Name=SpringSource Tool Suite Comment=SpringSource Tool Suite Exec=~/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/STS Icon=~/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/icon.xpm StartupNotify=true Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Development;IDE;Java;
Step 5: Now you can check from Quick Menu by typing "Spring"
Note: Small additional update for Ubuntu 18.04 & STS 4+ use Absolute path instead of relative. Use
Exec=/home/harishshan/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/STS Icon=/home/harishshan/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/icon.xpm
dont'useExec=~somedir/harishshan/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/STS Icon=~somedir/springsource/sts-3.4.0-RELEASE/icon.xpm
