Can I develop a SketchUp Ruby extension on Linux without having SketchUp installed?

[u/Bitter-Tax1483]

Hi, I’m new to SketchUp extension development. I use Linux as my main PC, but I don’t have SketchUp installed.

I want to build a SketchUp extension using Ruby and VS Code. I have a friend who has a Windows PC with SketchUp, so I’m thinking of using Git/GitHub to develop on Linux and then test the extension on his PC.

Is this a good workflow? Can I do most of the development on Linux and only use SketchUp on Windows for testing and debugging?

What would be the best setup/workflow for this situation?
