If you plan to use your computer to develop software, or simply install software from sources, you will need some basic tools like:

gcc
c++
make
others

These tools are installed in different ways, depending your Linux distribution, here I will cover Fedora, Debian and derivatives (like Ubuntu or Mint) and Arch Linux.

sudo yum update

sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Legacy Software Development"

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install build-essential

sudo pacman -Sy base-devel

You now have the needed tools to compile software in your Linux box.

You can verify the version of packages you have with:

gcc -v

and

make -v

yum -y install gcc
yum -y install gcc-c++
yum install make
 
#-- 或者
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
 
#-- 或者
yum install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel

Command to list groups on a CentOS / RHEL 7

# yum group list

# yum group install "Development Tools" 

To install development tools, run:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Any other tools can be installed with:

sudo apt-get install tool-name
