I gotta point out you can always use a cloud IDE (Code anywhere, Cloud9, codesandbox, stackblitz) to get things going without installing anything. I used Cloud9 for an entire project and the entire experience was great. Being able to jump directly from my under-powered chromebook (200$ model) to a full fledged desktop without skipping a beat was pretty cool, and beats working in a shell.
Unfortunately Cloud9 no longer has a free tier since getting bought out by Amazon. The IDE wasn't that powerful though, it was probably on par with Sublime with a lot of syntax highlighting, but any advanced refactoring was out of the picture. Plus, the free tier was comparable to a raspberrypi in horsepower. (my project was a very minimal web app)
I've heard good things about codeanywhere and codesandbox, but limited experience with both, but same idea applies.
These sorts of IDE options are probably the most minimal (0 installation), but are probably the most limited in scope. For the right people, its probably enough, especially for even the lower end chromebooks. :D
