DE1-SOC working without DS5 tool

Recently I got the DE1-SOC board. I could run the board and wrote codes for the FPGA and NIOS apps.

Now I want to use the ARM processor. I tried a lot but found that I needed DS5 altera edition tool.

My first question is, can I work on SOC arm baremetal app without using DS5? NIOS programming used the eclipse coming with the quartus without SocEDS.

I knew that the free license of the community edition of the DS5 is free but I cannot run the program from over there. So my second question is, is the community edition enough for working?

Thanks

    I don't want to use linux now as I am not very familiar with it now.

    Is there any good tutorial to describe how to use the GCC?
