Aptana Studio 3
Aptana Studio 3 is another of the professional development tools that we can use in Ubuntu. Is a Open source IDE cross-platform compatible that supports a wide variety of languages. The Aptana Studio editor supports HTML, CSS and Javascript. If you are a PHP or Ruby On Rails developer, you can also make your codes by adding the respective modules through plugins. Platforms supported by Aptana Studio include PHP, Ruby On Rails, Python, iPhone Web Applications, etc.
Aptana Studio is based on the popular Eclipse, so if you are or have been a fan of Eclipse (or Dreamweaver), you should have no problem getting used to Aptana. You can also use this program as Eclipse plugin.
Aptana Studio Features
Aptana Studio provides web developers and designers with plenty of plugin options and support. This great IDE comes with multiple features such as: Terminal View, Code Suggestions or php websites with a built-in server among others. You can even consider developing Python code. In addition, Aptana Studio 3 will allow us:
Git integration
In this program you can easily put your projects under the git source code control. Collaborate with team members through multiple options through remote repositories hosted on Github that facilitates git-based deployments.
IDE customization
Set up your development environment exactly the way you want by expanding core capabilities through custom command scripts. Aptana Studio has hundreds of commands, but they are always presented in context based on the type of file you are editing.
Built-in terminal
In Aptana Studio you can quickly access a terminal to run commands operating system and language utilities such as gem, rake, etc.
Automatic self-completion
One of the most productive uses of Aptana is its tag suggestion, tag explanation, and auto-complete feature. When you type a tag, it will display a list of similar tags and it will give you an explanation of what each tag does. This feature is already present in Dreamweaver, but it is not as common in most IDEs.
Label scheme
In the sidebar of the editor window you will find the outline panel that will allow you to quickly access any function within the code. This is a useful feature when you have a large CSS file or a long list of Javascript functions.
Requirements for Aptana Studio 3 installation
The IDE installation needs to meet some requirements installed and working properly for it to work properly.
Java
You must have Sun / Oracle Java 1.5.x or later installed on your Linux Ubuntu. You can follow the tutorial that a colleague has published days ago in the following link.
Go
Git is used internally to update the scripting environment. If you don't have msysgit installed, the program will offer to install it for its own internal use.
You can install git and some other necessary libraries by running the following command line command:
sudo apt-get install libjpeg62 libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 git-core
Download Aptana Studio 3 for Linux
Download page Aptana Studio 3
To download the program we will only have to open the browser on duty and go to the Official Site from Aptana to download the latest Linux package.
On this page we can choose between downloading the program or downloading the plugin that we can use in Eclipse. The download can be done for Windows, Mac OSX or Linux and in 32 or 64 bits.
Installing Aptana Studio on Ubuntu
After downloading the Aptana Studio package, now we are going to install it on our Ubuntu computers. The first step in this regard is to extract the package in the directory '/ opt' using the following command in the terminal:
sudo unzip Aptana_Studio_3_Setup_Linux_x86_64_3.6.1.zip -d /opt/
Now we are going to create a symbolic link to be able to launch this IDE from the terminal, whatever directory we are. We open a terminal and write:
ln -s /opt/Aptana_Studio_3/AptanaStudio3 /usr/local/bin/AptanaStudio3
Start of Aptana Studio
To start Aptana Studio 3 from the terminal after installation we just have to execute the following command in its command line terminal.
AptanaStudio
Once the installation is completely finished, we can now program with this IDE. This is a very good option to develop our pages or applications, but it is still just another option we have to develop our codes. Let each one find the one that best suits their needs.
Can't configure in Spanish?
I have never translated it, but I think not. Look at the official documentation. There you can get better information.
I was using it at the beginning of the course for a couple of projects and I ended up using a text editor (Atom), it seems that the only thing it has in common with eclipse is bugs.
Everything is for what it is. An IDE is one thing and an editor is another. As for the Eclipse bugs that you mention, I am sure that you have not known how to configure it correctly or you have simply omitted the configuration of the program.
But about tastes (and more when programming) ... you know.
Excuse me, but I want to install Aptana on ubuntu mate 14.04, I do the commands you say and it doesn't allow me to install it.
Could it be (even) more explicit?
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you
What error do you get? Without more information about the error, I cannot be more explicit. Greetings.
Dear Damian… thanks for your answer….
- I download the 32-bit version.
I enter the terminal.
I paste this command sudo unzip Aptana_Studio_3_Setup_Linux_x86_3.6.1.zip -d / opt /
- He tells me that «cannot…. and else"…. can't find it, so to speak.
I look at the name of the package that you download and that order is just like that.
I clarify that it is with Ubuntu mate 14.04
Thanks for your time and sorry for the inconvenience.
I'll try to install Geany and that's it!
Hello. Make sure you have unzip installed first and then try again (if you start typing the package name and hit the tab key, the system should auto-complete it). If not, unzip it from the graphical environment in your personal folder and then move the folder to the / opt directory. That you can also leave it in your personal folder, but you have to adapt the following command to your home directory to create the symbolic link.
I hope this helps you. Salu2.
Greetings, how can I download it?
I can't get a link or anything and please don't send me to the official website because I've been wasting time for a week and nothing ...
If you have a portal from which to download it, of course, it is not the official one, I will thank you
