How to configure CLion for remote dev with a Raspberry Pi4

Update the Pi4 OS and install cmake :

Do that in your Pi:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

# check what is already installed :
apt list -a cmake gdb
sudo apt install cmake gdb

Install openssh on Pi4. And not Dropbear because dropbear does not support sftp.

$ sftp root@pi4

Connection closed
