apt-get
Debian GNU/Linux and derivatives include the APT package manager, which makes installing the majority of tools easy.
Connect to the Internet, paste the following into a terminal, enter your password, and a few
sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-imaging gimp gedit fceux wine
This installs several things:
build-essentialGNU Make, a program that determines which parts of your project have changed, such as assembly language source code or game graphics, and rebuilds only those parts, and a C compiler, needed for building cc65.python3-imagingis Pillow (Python Imaging Library), a component used by Python programs that manipulate image data, such as PNG, JPEG, and BMP files.gimpis GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), a paint program distributed as free software.

Install cc65
cc65 is a C compiler targeting the MOS Technology 6502 CPU. In this tutorial, you won't be using the C compiler, but you will be using the assembler (ca65) and the linker (ld65) that come with it.
Because there is no Debian package for cc65 as of the third quarter of 2015, you'll need to compile it from source. The source code for cc65 is in a GitHub repository. If you are already familiar with Git or Subversion, you can clone the project to your computer. Otherwise, visit the repository, follow the "Download ZIP" link at the right, and unzip it somewhere convenient.

Install FCEUX for Windows
The version of FCEUX included with Debian unfortunately does not include a debugger. Instead, you can run FCEUX for Windows.
TODO
Configure a text editor
Now we'll configure a text editor so that you can press one key and see your ROM come to life.
