That would be the same on any OS: A compiler (gcc) and a simple text editor like gedit.

Since you are using Ubuntu, you can install the compiler and other tools with this command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

If you want to use an IDE, please go to our programming section. There is a sticky there with suggestions for IDE's, free and/or open source.
