**Linux Tools** 
  * [[https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/ubuntu-on-windows|Ubuntu for Windows]] - This provides a self-contained Linux environment on a Windows 10 computer. 
      * See: [[newdevs:testserver|Setting Up a Development Environment]]

**Git:** Git is a software version control system designed to track software code changes. Evergreen's code changes are tracked at [[https://git.evergreen-ils.org/]]. Git is almost always used from a command line interface, but there is a free 'Git for Windows' application that offers basic functionality ([[https://git-scm.com/download/win]]).

**Launchpad:** Launchpad is the bug / wish list tracker that the Evergreen community uses. See: [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen]]

**Text Editor:** Any plain text editor can be used. Notepad++ (available from [[https://notepad-plus-plus.org/]]) is a simple open-source code editor.  Visual Studio Code Editor is free code editor available from Microsoft ([[https://code.visualstudio.com/]]) that has the advantage of a built-in console so that you can update and compile code, plus view console output when testing the code, in the same window. 

See [[newdevs:landscape:tools:vscode|VSCode]] for tips on setting up Visual Studio Code
