2013 INSTALL BRACKETS IN UBUNTU VIA PPA (OPEN SOURCE CODE EDITOR FOR HTML, CSS AND JAVASCRIPT)

Brackets is an open-source code editor for web design and development built on top of web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript, available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. The application was originally created by Adobe, but is now maintained by the community.



Brackets comes with some very interesting features, like a quick edit mode (Ctrl +e) that brings the relevant CSS for the selected tag in the main editor or live browser previews - the changes are pushed instantly to the browser (Chrome only), without having to save the changes or reload the page (see video below). Furthermore, Brackets supports extensions for adding extra functionality - more than 100 extensions (at the time I'm writing this article) can easily be installed through the built-in Extension Manager:



Brackets for Linux was released back in August and while the Linux builds are practically at feature parity with the the Mac and Windows builds, there are some known issues. For instance, Brackets doesn't currently use native OS menus so under Unity, the menu isn't displayed on the top panel. There's also an issue that occurs when closing the application: you must click the close button twice to get the application to quit. More info about the Linux version, here Below you'll find an introduction video for Brackets (the video is old, but it should be enough to get an idea on what Brackets can do and why it's different from other code editors):



Even though there are deb packages available for download on its website, users must manually download and install each update, and Brackets is updated quite often, usually every 2½ weeks. For this reason, I've created a Brackets Ubuntu PPA which makes it easily to stay up to date with the latest Brackets Linux builds in Ubuntu and derivatives.

Install Brackets in Ubuntu via PPA

To add the Brackets PPA and install the application in Ubuntu (and derivatives), use the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/brackets

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install brackets

If you don't want to use our PPA or don't use Ubuntu, download Brackets from here

Turpial 3 Beta Builds Available for Ubuntu



Desktop Twitter app Turpial 3 is available for testing on Ubuntu – albeit unofficially. Development builds for Debian have recently been made available. These should install without issue on Ubuntu, giving the bravest amongst the Twittering classes the chance to go hands on with the revamped and retooled app before it’s made more widely available. To get up and running you’ll need to grab both the turpial_3.0_all and python-libturpial installers from the link below. You’ll also need to grab python-jinja2 from the Software Center. Once installed setup is easy enough; you’ll be guided through adding an account and columns after first launch. It uses the official Twitter authentication flow but in an embedded window. As this is a beta quality release don’t expect it to work flawlessly or without issue.
