Setup Aptana Studio * Unzip Aptana Studio to /usr/local/aptana. Note: If you install Aptana Studio in a directory accessible only to the root user, you will need to run it as root to install updates.
* Install xulrunner 1.8.* (You can use Synaptic Package Manager to install this.)
o You can download Xulrunner 1.8 from
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/XULRunner o Once installed, make sure you $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME is pointing to your xulrunner 1.8 dir
o You may also need to install compat-libstdc++ if you are running into a libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory when running xulrunner-bin from command line.
* Check your /usr/lib/xulrunner.... and note the full name of xulrunner. Is some case it is simply "xulrunner" while in other cases the name includes the version.
* Create a script that sets up the Aptana Studio environment, call it runAptana:
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/xulrunner
/usr/local/aptana/AptanaStudio
* Make your script executable:
$ chmod +x runAptana
* Run the script
