These are my development tools for the different platforms I use.
I mostly development scripts and tools in Python or Javascript. My IDE of choice is Visual Studio Code because it covers all languages I need. You even get a decent milage with Java.
However when working on a specific Java project I use IntelliJ IDEA. You find it at https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/
You find installers for all 3 platforms at https://code.visualstudio.com/download
MacOS has a reasonable recent Git client.
If you want the latest go to https://git-scm.com/ and download the MacOS installer package to get the latest Git version.
Download the installer of Python 3 from https://www.python.org/downloads/.
Download the installer from NodeJS https://nodejs.org/en/download/. As I’m not a cutting edge JS developer so the LTS version is for my purpose sufficient.
For the Mac I use the Docker Desktop from https://hub.docker.com/?overlay=onboarding.
Install a recent version via sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git.
Python 3 should be in the base package. To develop with Python you need pip3 and virtual environment as well. Just install it via sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-virtualenvironment
Other packages can be installed via pip.

On Ubuntu I like to use a recent Docker-CE version.
# Frist remove any installed version
sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io
# Install the necessary tools
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install \
apt-transport-https \
ca-certificates \
curl \
software-properties-common
# Install the offical GPG key
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
# Next add the repository to the apt sources
sudo add-apt-repository \
"deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"
# Now your ready to install Docker-CE
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install docker-ce
Download and install the 64-bit version of Git & GitBash from https://github.com/git-for-windows/
Download the installer of Python 3 from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/.

Depends on the Windos 10 version. On Pro you can use Docker for Windows as it requires HyperV. Although I’m not too enthusiastic as the networking with Hyper is in a corporate environment a bit tricky. Anyway I get my version from the same URL s my Mac version https://hub.docker.com/?overlay=onboarding.
If you don’t like HyperV or develop on Windows 10 Home you can always use the Dockertoolbox for Windows. Check the installation guide and download your version from https://github.com/docker/toolbox/releases.
