Testing Pritam's Linux build
There has been a lot of interest in the Brackets Community around getting Brackets running on Linux. The Linux Version thread in the brackets-dev forum got so large and hard to follow that I created this wiki page to summarize the info so far, and also as a collecting point for more info. The following info was copied from Pritam Baral.
With reasonable confidence I can say Brackets for Linux is ready for testing. Two builds (32 and 64 bit respectively) have been posted: pritambaral/brackets-shell/downloads. The core brackets code from Sprint 16 has also been packaged and posted on the same page. A tester may chose to build it for himself, or download the brackets-shell-[64,32] and brackets-sprint-16 builds and run it.
Both brackets-shell and brackets are packaged up as brackets-shell-[32,64]-bit.tar.bz2 and brackets-sprint-16.tar.bz2 respectively on the downloads page. Download both and extract to the proper directory. The folders www/ and samples/ being in the same folder as the Brackets binary is preferable, but you extract anywhere and manually choose the location of www/index.html on start-up.
[Note from Randy Edmunds: it wouldn't work for me on OpenSuse 12.1 when I put these folders side-by-side, but it did work when I put the www/ and samples/ being in the same folder as the Brackets executable]
Or, if you want to test the building process, the linux branches on both pritambaral/brackets and pritambaral/brackets-shell are the ones to use.
We want to get an idea of how complete and stable this build is.
Open Brackets Unit Tests window using: Debug > Run Tests. Note that Unit Tests are disabled if you use the www folder download. Run all Unit and Extension tests.
Also run Brackets Smoke Tests for both Client and Server, if possible.
Please use pritambaral/brackets/issues for logging issues.
To help us get an idea of what testing has been done, please update this table after you have completed some testing:
