        Disclaimer: This guide is not designed to work with Focal!

        Hey I recently started development for UbPorts and it felt quite overwhelming to get started. For this reason I decided to create a short guide for beginners who want to get started with development. I gathered many Useful resources and I hope it helps someone. I cannot promise that it is perfect though.

        You can find it on aaron.place (currently down! Use https://web.archive.org/web/20220515161326/https://aaron.place/blogs/UbPortsPython.html intead.)

          Two remarks:
          In your text, replace UbPorts by UBports
          and Ubuntu Touch apps would be more accurate than "UbPorts apps"

          Otherwise, congrats for your contribution

          Donate anonymously 1€/$ by year to UBports, all Ubuntu Touch users can do it ! Demonstration:

              @aarontheissueguy Good stuff thanks for taking the time to do it. If you just make the changes @libremax suggested and as your doc is in English probably best to link to the English version of the ssh part of UBports docs rather than German(?) and development not developement you should be set. Thanks again for your time and effort.

                    • Typo: knwoledge -> knowledge (2x times)
                    • Inconsistency: sometimes apt, sometimes apt-get
                    • Combine all dependencies in one apt(-get) command so it can be copy/pasted at once
                    • Mark the Atom section as "Optional"
                    • String concatenation is bad Python practice, use string formatting (atleast str.format() or f-strings)

                    Nice work though! This should get people started and perhaps the article can get extended further.

                                @developerbayman Sorry for the late response. My site is currently down to reduce server cost (Inflation hits us all). Here is the guide: https://web.archive.org/web/20220515161326/https://aaron.place/blogs/UbPortsPython.html

                                  @aarontheissueguy Bear in mind that this how-to might contain some steps that are no longer necessary. Installing Qt 5 for instance is not needed. Clickable downloads the requisite container images with everything installed necessary for the tutorial.
