How To Install Brackets Code Editor on Debian 11

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Brackets Code Editor on Debian 11. For those of you who didn’t know, Brackets is a modern, lightweight, open-source, and multi-platform code editor crafted for web designers and front-end developers. The brackets code editor has a lot of interesting features to help professional web developers, such as Inline code editing and Live preview.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the VSCodium on a Debian 11 (Bullseye).

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Debian 11.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.
