These instructions use local::lib (https://metacpan.org/pod/local::lib) to build the padre sources. Ubuntu 14.10 has a recent perl (5.20.1) and padre (1.00). This is also the case for Debian testing and unstable. Kudos to the Debian Perl Group (https://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/).

• Get the OS dependencies. The easieast way is just to install the packaged padre. Its dependencies include local::lib:

$ sudo apt-get install padre

This padre can of course be starting by just typing: $ padre

• Get development dependencies for Padre: $ cpanm -l ~/perl5 Module::Install

• Clone Padre (use ssh if you have a github account):

$ mkdir -p ~/Code && cd ~/Code
$ git clone https://github.com/PadreIDE/Padre.git

• Install Padre and dependencies: $ cpanm -l ~/perl5 .

• Run Padre:

  • in dev mode: $ ./dev
  • or installed app: $ ~/perl5/bin/padre
