Step 5, "Setting Up Fl_TeacherTool to run with sudo", of the
Fl_TeacherTool web page shows you how to set this up:

Yes, already installed on your server.


"gcc" is the C compiler

"g++" is the C++ compiler

"mcs" is the C# compiler


"monodevelop" is an integrated development environment for mono (C#)

"eclipse" is an integrated development environment for C & Java


A ton of scripting languages are also installed. Perl, Python, PHP, and
ruby are the most commonly used.
