Why doesn't a JumpBox have gcc, make, etc?

All JumpBoxes have been stripped of unnecessary packages to minimize download size. This includes everything required to compile or build additional software. No need to worry though, on a registered JumpBox, getting all the build tools you need is simple. Just make sure you have enabled shell access and SSH into the JumpBox and run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential

Whatever you are trying to build may have additional dependencies but build-essential should get you started.

Remember to tread with caution on the command line. You could render your JumpBox useless and we don't support any packages that don't ship on the JumpBox.
