S32M2 FRDM bundle Linux

[marcoh]

How can I Installing the S32DS support tools in linux host?

I am using the S32M276 FRDM board and follow its "Getting Started" guide. The tools are provided as a "bundle" through an exe file which makes easier for windows. For other OS, it is recommended to download them from "your account" which is basically a gigantic top level product list. 

Does somebody has a simple list of the packages to install, along with a simple instruction for Linux users or 'manual install" method?

Thanks

Update:

I am using Ubuntu 24.04 and after many retries (SWT/WebKit) I finally make it work using the gui image built with the provided Docker script for the S32DS-3.6.6 release. The gui runs using a web browser/vnc (xfce desktop), but I didn't like the development environment much. 

I decided to have a separate ssd to boot Ubuntu 22.04 (distro ships with the required Python 3.10.x), it feels more natural.

Some gotchas:

- Install the RobotoCondensed-Regular.ttf font and create a link to the ttf (see the eclipse log for location).

- The rtd is not installed using "Extension and Uddates" as indicated in many posts. Use instead Help->"Install New Software"->"Add", and in the dialog box use "Archive..." to search for the zip file. In my case I installed the latest: SW32K3_S32M27x_RTD_R23-11_7.0.1_D2603
