I installed IntelliJ and WebStorm on my Linux Mint distro. The problem I have is that I cannot use the integrated terminal on both of the software. In both of them there is a problem with my bash binary location. I researched and saw that the software manager in Linux Mint installs flatpak software by default, and that it works as a sort of a container. I tried to change the location of my bash binary to var/run/host.. but it didn't seem to work.
I read that people solve this by installing the tar version of the software or using snapd. Since snapd is not supported by Linux Mint, what are my alternatives? Can I somehow give access to my software to use my bash, npm, etc... and if not, why is it that flatpak makes these things so difficult?..
Flatpak works as a sandbox environment - each pack has its own runtime environment and because of security reasons, flatpak apps do not have direct access to host files. There could be a lot of problems due to this.
Please try reinstalling the IDE using one of the officially recommended options (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/installation-guide.html) - download the tar.gz from https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/download/#section=linux, or use the toolbox app to manage installations

I have recently added the ubuntu terminal in my windows pc since certain packages were only supported in linux. Now for example if I were to access my packages that are present in my conda environments in my windows os through the linux terminal would it be possible? Will it still function the same way or do I have to manually install everything via the ubuntu terminal as well.
If I do have to install everything manually again, where will all the stored data be present? Which directories should I access?
How does this ubuntu terminal work exactly? Does it work in a similar manner if I were to dual boot it?
Yes, you can access all the packages from Ubuntu terminal. You don't have to install everything all-together again. WSL or Ubuntu on Windows can seamlessly integrate with windows. Even though Linux systems have different directory structure, Ubuntu terminal (or bash or WSL or Ubuntu for Windows) happen to maintain the directory structure for windows. So anything you install on Ubuntu terminal will be installed as to windows terms. But I wouldn't recommend mixing these two as it's very tricky. And also, WSL and dual-booting Ubuntu with windows are far from close. You can know more about it if you search online.
I would personally recommend installing Ubuntu as it makes programming a billion times easier. You don't have to install Ubuntu replacing windows. You can just install Ubuntu on a separate hard drive and just specify which drive to boot from on system start-up. If you use a laptop and don't have two drives, then create a new volume and use it as if it were an original drive.
I started ROR development on windows using Ubuntu bash. For now it was going well but when i tried to debug ruby on window using Rubymine it said no ruby SDK specified. How can i access the ruby sdk from ubuntu bash?
In resume: maybe Rubymine is a windows-program which is not aware of the ruby (ROR) environment installed inside the windows10-WSL.
In more detail: before windows10 (with winxp, win7, etc) ubuntu and linux programs could not be installed inside windows. So in those cases, if you needed to use a linux program, you could download virtualbox, create a separate VirtualMAchine, install there your Ubuntu and then inside install the ubuntu programs (Ruby, ROR, etc)
With windows10, there is a new feature called WSL - Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows a ubuntu system to be installed inside window. It uses some hidden virtualization/conversion to make it transparent for the user, and so any ubunut command can be run from the windows-console, without VirtualBox nor VirtualMachine - its looks as if windows could execute linux programs natively (but its just an ilusion though)
It looks like you installed ROR in the WSL-Ubuntu. And then installed RubyMine on windows. And then Rubymine tried to find the ROR-things in the windows directories but it did not found any. I guess its because Rubymine is not prepared to search within the WSL-Ubuntu for the ROR-things and so fails.
My second guess, is that the easiest solution could be to avoid using WSL-Ubuntu (as other programs wont be ready for it - currently it looks more of an experiment, not a real stable standard). And instead, try to do it all inside a Virtual-Box VirtualMachine, where you install ubuntu, all the programs you want (and they will run fine there), and avoid the WSL-mix. Even if this way requires a bit more work in the start - to prepare the VirtualBox and VM with ubuntu (youtube has many tutorials for this) - it will definitely save you time/headaches in the long-run when you need to install additional library/program/gem for your ROR environment
I have eclipse installed on my windows machine, but I can't seem to use it with bash so I installed eclipse on the bash terminal by using "sudo apt-get install eclipse". It installed fine, but I can't figure out how to launch the eclipse GUI from the linux subsystem so I can use it like the windows version. I tried using Xming and exporting DISPLAY, but that didn't work. Any ideas?
from what i understood from the link below, you require to update .bashrc to direct the GUI display to a X Server process. I installed xMing to run X Server from Windows 10. i also had to install gtk components that allowed me to run sublime text GUI from within WSL.

IMHO you should not install eclipse by apt but simply get your desired eclipse product from from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages , download and unzip it to your wanted location and just start eclipse.
Reasons:
I do not know any Linux distribution containing a newer eclipse bundled, so you are always having older versions being slower and having less features
You can update your eclipse installation directly inside eclipse Check for updates
You can have multiple installations at same time
If you want to get rid of a eclipse installation just remove the folder and you are done.
But of course you can also use bash directly in Windows with Eclipse.
Please look at

How to run this cmd in windows OS
phabricator/ $ ./bin/storage upgrade
I am configuring the phabricator in windows machine using following post.

other than configuring mysql everything is done.

To install the Phabricator server software, you will need an operating system on your normal computer which is not Windows. Note that the command line interface does work on Windows, and you can use Phabricator from any operating system with a web browser. However, the server software does not run on Windows. It does run on most other operating systems, so choose one of these instead:
I am using MacBook Pro Mac OS 10.5 with related version of XCode. I am new to this development environment. I am learning macports, and I read information about macports from http://www.macports.org/. But I am still confused what macports is after reading information from this site.
I am previous working on Windows and Linux, could anyone let me know what macports is (in easy words) and what is the similar item on Windows/Linux?
thanks in avdance,
George
macports is a way of getting executables and other compiled code installed on your computer without having to work out the details of compiling/linking each apllication.
It is equivalent to a package manager under Linux and other Unicies. There is no direct equivalent under Windows.
It is just a convenient way to install a lot of *nix soft on your mac book. They are installed separately (not overwriting) from binaries/daemons/libs already installed on your mac (by default in folder /opl/local). Also they are much fresher than those installed on your mac.
For example 10.6 ships with bash 3.2, but after running sudo port install bash, you will get version 4.x (to make it your default shell add /opt/local/bin/bash to file /private/etc/shells, run chsh -s /opt/local/bin/bash and reopen terminal).
Note other os x package managers: fink and homebrew (superuser question)
