How to install Aptana Studio 3 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin)

1. Install the prerequisites

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk libjpeg62 libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 git-core

 

Although Aptana Studio doesn’t officially support OpenJDK, I’ve not encountered any problems, however I’ve not done extensive testing. Alternatively, to use the Sun JDK, do the following:

sudo apt-get install libjpeg62 libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 git-core
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

 

libjpeg62 is important, without it you will get errors like this:

An internal error has occurred.
No more handlesNative code library failed to load. (java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/Aptana_Studio_3/plugins/com.aptana.swt.webkitbrowser.linux.x86_64_1.0.0.1295409059/os/linux/x86_64/libcefjni.so: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

 

2. Download Aptana Studio
