C++ installation

(MacOS) Install cmake (local machine):

Download CLion and cmake will be installed simultaneously with CLion

(Ubuntu) Install cmake

Uninstall the default version provided by Ubuntu's package manager and configuration by using: sudo apt remove --purge --auto-remove cmake
Go to the official CMake webpage (http://www.cmake.org/download), then download and extract the latest version. Update the version and build variables in the following command to get the desired version:

build=4
mkdir ~/temp
cd ~/temp
wget https://cmake.org/files/v$version/cmake-$version.$build.tar.gz
tar -xzvf cmake-$version.$build.tar.gz
cd cmake-$version.$build/

Install the extracted source by running:

make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install

Test your new cmake version: cmake --version
Usually paths make/c/c++: make: /usr/bin/make C Compiler: /usr/bin/cc C++ Compiler: /usr/bin/c++

Add remote host in CLion:

Go to Settings / Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Toolchains and click plus icon to create a new toolchain
Select Remote Host from the drop-down menu and click icons actions menu in the Credentials field. In the dialog that opens, provide the credentials for accessing you remote machine:

After establishing the connection, CLion attempts to detect the tools in default remote locations /usr/bin/cmake and /usr/bin/gdb (or using the full paths, if you have provided manually). When the checks finish successfully, the toolchain is ready for use:

4.(optional) You can make the newly created toolchain the default one (for this, move it to the top of the toolchains list by clicking move upmove down). When set as default, the remote toolchain is used for all the projects you create and open in CLion.

Go to Settings / Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | CMake, click plus icon to create a new CMake profile, and connect it to your remote toolchain using the Toolchain field:

Check and adjust the deployment configuration (i.e remote host window)
Once you've done you will be able to choose local/remote here:

Check if CLion is working with remote host:

file main.cpp prints out host name and local IP, example of print:

Hostname: instance-3
Host IP: 10.128.0.2

(Ubuntu) Install C++ environment

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt-get install manpages-dev
gcc --version
mkdir cpp_ex
cd cpp_ex
vim hello.cpp (take base_ex/hello.cpp from this repo)
sudo g++ hello.cpp
./a.out

(Ubuntu) Install Crow library (flask analog)

Source: https://github.com/ipkn/crow Source: https://github.com/ipkn/crow/wiki/Installation

Download and include file: https://github.com/ipkn/crow/releases/download/v0.1/crow_all.h (or take it from this repo crow.h)
If you try to run sudo g++ hello_crow.cpp (take it from this repo base_ex/hello_crow.cpp) you will see "fatal error: boost/optional.hpp: No such file or directory" => need to install dependecies
sudo apt install libboost-all-dev libssl-dev
sudo g++ crw_server.cpp -lboost_system -pthread or if it does not run then g++ -O3 -std=c++11 server.cpp -lboost_thread -lboost_system -pthread
./a.out
curl -X GET http://localhost:18080/hi

(Ubuntu) Advanced Crow Library

In order to do more advanced example and pass some parameters inside (list/double/int/string) and to return full json:

cd advanced_crow (take it from this repo)
sudo g++ crw_server.cpp -lboost_system -pthread
./a.out
Example to pass inside string/int/double/list parameters: curl -X GET "http://localhost:18080/ex_json?foo='blabla'&pew=32&count[]=a&count[]=b&double_param=2.31"
Just another example: curl -X GET "http://localhost:18080/ex_json_arr"

(Ubuntu) Run Docker service with C++

Install Docker: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

Clone this repo and go to helloworld_docker folder
sudo docker build --rm -f Dockerfile -t dockerhello:latest .
sudo docker run --rm -it dockerhello:latest

(Ubuntu) Docker + Crow (flask analog)

Clone this repo and go to crow_docker fodler
sudo docker build --rm -f Dockerfile -t crowdocker:latest .
sudo docker run -p 300:18080 --rm -it crowdocker:latest (match port 300 to 18080)
curl -X GET http://localhost:300/hi
