The ultimate developer environment setup tool.
Scans your system. Detects what you have. Installs what you need. Zero guesswork.
Quick Start • System Scan • Languages • IDEs • Frameworks • Profiles • Package Managers
Setting up a new development machine is painful. You spend hours downloading compilers, configuring IDEs, installing package managers, and getting frameworks working. CodeReady automates all of it with a single interactive script.
- System scan first — detects what's already installed, skips what you have, suggests upgrades
- Version selection — choose between multiple versions for each language (latest, LTS, older)
- 15 profiles — Web, Mobile, AI/ML, DevOps, Blockchain, Scientific, Functional, and more
- Multi-profile — combine profiles:
1 5 9= Web Frontend + AI/ML + DevOps - Cross-platform — Windows, macOS, Linux with the same experience
- Safe installs — failed installs auto-cleanup, never leaves broken repos on your system
- 109+ packages — languages, IDEs, tools, frameworks, all in one place
CodeReady scans your system before installing anything. It detects every language, IDE, tool, and package manager already on your machine, and shows you what's outdated.

- Skip installed — already have it? Skipped automatically
- Safe repo install — if a repo-based install fails, the repo and GPG key are cleaned up
- Debian/Ubuntu detection — Docker and other repo tools use the correct distro name
- Non-blocking failures — one failed package doesn't stop the rest
- Full log — everything is logged to

| PowerShell encoding errors | Script uses pure ASCII — save as UTF-8 without BOM |
| Permission denied (Linux) | chmod +x codeready.sh |
| Package not found | Check ~/codeready_install.log for details |
| Command not found after install | Run source ~/.bashrc or restart terminal |
| Mojo on Windows | Install WSL 2 first, then Mojo inside WSL |
| Docker fails on Debian | CodeReady auto-detects debian/trixie — uses bookworm repo as fallback |
