How To Install Brackets Code Editor on Manjaro

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Brackets Code Editor on Manjaro. Brackets Code Editor is a popular open-source text editor designed for web development. It offers a range of features tailored to the needs of web developers, such as live preview, real-time code editing, and extensions for added functionality. If you’re a Manjaro Linux user, you can easily install Brackets using the Command Line Interface (CLI).

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 Brackets Code Editor on a Manjaro Linux.

Prerequisites

• A server or desktop running one of the following operating systems: Manjaro, and other Arch-based distributions.
• 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).
• Ensure that your Manjaro system is connected to the internet. This is crucial as it allows you to download the required packages and the Brackets Code Editor installation.
• 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.

Install Brackets Code Editor on Manjaro

Step 1. Before diving into the Brackets installation, it’s crucial to make sure your Manjaro system is up to date. Open a terminal and execute the following commands:

sudo pacman -S git base-devel

Step 2. Installing Flatpak on Manjaro.

Flatpak isn’t included by default in Manjaro, but it’s easy to install. Use the following command:

sudo pacman -S flatpak

To enable Flatpak support in Manjaro, add the Flatpak repository and restart your system:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Step 3. Installing Brackets Code Editor on Manjaro.

First, find Brackets on Flathub, execute the following command:

flatpak search brackets

Once you’ve identified the Brackets application, install it using Flatpak:

flatpak install flathub io.brackets.app

This command will automatically download and install Brackets along with its required dependencies.

Step 4. Accessing Brackets Code Editor on Manjaro.

After installation, you can launch Brackets from your application menu or by running:
