Brackets HTML and CSS editor for Ubuntu Linux

Ubuntu Linux comes with the gedit editor, which is very handy for writing and editing Ruby programs as well as HTML pages. But if I want to make a more professional looking and fancy web pages using HTML and CSS, I will need a more powerful HTML editor. In Windows, there is the professional grade Adobe Dreamweaver program for designing professional look web pages. In Linux, I found the Brackets open source software, which provides basic HTML and CSS files editing. It is developed by Adobe and distributed under the MIT license. All and all, it is free.

1. To install Brackets for Linux, I typed the following command in Terminal:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/brackets
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install brackets
2. And then the installation process is very straight forward, quick and easy. To start Brackets, I typed brackets in Linux Terminal:
$ brackets
3. It will start Brackets and goes straight into an HTML-based tutorial file with accompanying CSS, which is a great way to start exploring.


4. Finally, I right clicked the Brackets icon on the toolbar on the left and locked it with the Launcher for easy access.

Note: the Brackets software is installed on:
/opt/brackets

and the sample index.html and main.css files are located on:
/opt/brackets/samples/root/Getting Started
