projectdevsetup 1.1.0

Automatic developer environment setup for beginners

PROJECT DEV SETUP

Beginner-friendly tool that helps set up a coding environment for common programming languages. It is designed for people who want a guided setup experience instead of manually installing everything one by one.

---

Supported languages

1. Python
2. C
3. C++
4. Java
5. HTML / CSS
6. JavaScript
7. Rust
8. Go
9. All languages

Installation

First, make sure Python is installed.

Then install the package with:

pip install projectdevsetup

How to run it

You can start it with either command:

projectdevsetup

or:

python -m projectdevsetup

How to use it

1. Start the tool

Run one of the commands above in your terminal.

2. Pick a language

The tool will show a menu like this:

============================================================
  projectdevsetup - Zenith Open Source Projects
  Automatic Developer Environment Setup for Beginners
============================================================

  Which programming language do you want to set up?

  1. Python
  2. C
  3. C++
  4. Java
  5. HTML / CSS
  6. JavaScript
  7. Rust
  8. Go
  9. All Languages

Enter a number from 1 to 9.

3. Name your starter file

If you choose a single language, the tool asks for a file name.

Example:

What do you want to name your file? (without extension)
Example: if you type 'hello', your file will be 'hello.py'

If your name contains special characters, the tool replaces them with underscores.

4. Let the setup finish

The tool then goes through these steps:

1. Installs the selected language tools
2. Sets up Visual Studio Code
3. Installs recommended VS Code extensions
4. Creates your starter file

For Python, it also creates:

• .venv
• requirements.txt

5. Open your project

Your project is created in:

~/projectdevsetup_projects/<your-file-name>

On Windows, that is usually under your user home directory.

Example output

For a Python project named hello, the tool will create something like:

projectdevsetup_projects/
  hello/
    hello.py
    requirements.txt
    .venv/

How to run your code later

Python

python hello.py

C

gcc hello.c -o program
./program

C++

g++ hello.cpp -o program
./program

Java

javac Hello.java
java Hello

JavaScript

node hello.js

Rust

rustc hello.rs
./hello

Go

go run hello.go

HTML / CSS

Open the generated HTML file in your browser or in VS Code.

Important notes

• The tool needs internet access to install packages and editors.
• Some installs may require administrator or sudo permissions.
• Installation success depends on the operating system and external installers being available.
• If VS Code or a language tool cannot be installed automatically, the tool shows a manual fallback message.

Development and testing

Run tests from the repository root with:

$env:PYTHONPATH="src"
python -m unittest discover -s tests

Build release artifacts with:

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
