How to install Aptana Studio on Ubuntu
July 12th, 2009 | 
Author: Update: This ‘how to’ applies for Aptana Studio 1.2.x and below. With the new version of Aptana Studio 1.5.x you no longer have to go through all those steps (see new post).
In this post I demonstrate how to install Aptana Studio on Ubuntu 9.04. I created a web cast for it. Yes, a webcast and by the way it’s my first one! I used all open source software to create it. We’ll get to that on another post. Down below you’ll find the script and the icon I used. Enjoy!
Here is the script:
#!/bin/sh
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/xulrunner
if [ $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ]; then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
else
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
fi
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/<path to aptana studio>/AptanaStudio
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/xulrunner
if [ $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ]; then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
else
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
fi
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/<path to aptana studio>/AptanaStudio
Here is the Aptana icon. The file is an X11 PixMap (.xpm) type:

Hi! Thanks for this information. Now I’m trying to install Aptana on my Ubuntu machine. I natively speak Spanish, and I have learned English. I’m understand your voice perfectly. Thanks for the icon, too. Bye.
Great job, nice walk through. It was nice to see you keep folder and filenames consistent throughout the tutorial, a very good programming trait.
