The instructions in the wiki of pyBullet got me thinking, that I could use a proper IDE on the linux machine. I’m too old to learn emacs, and I’m not doing this in vi.
pyCharm is pretty good for Python.
But the Bullet Engine examples are all in C++, so I went with Eclipse CDT https://www.eclipse.org/cdt/ for a nicer experience.
So Eclipse needs Java. So I installed java with
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
Unpacked gzip tar file and deleted it
tar xvf eclipse-cpp-2020-03-R-incubation-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
rm eclipse-cpp-2020-03-R-incubation-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
./opt/eclipse/eclipse
