HowTo: Install BlueGriffon on Linux

Hello community, here is my first post, today is one of those days when it is raining here in my country and where there is nothing left for us computer scientists to walk through cyberspace browsing all day xD !. I was a bit lazy to write here on the Blog but I was encouraged and here my contribution, I hope you like it.

Bluegriffon is a new multi-platform editor that allows us to create and edit file formats HTML (HTML 4, XML, XHTML & HTML 5), as well as files CSS3, known as the Open Source or Free DreamWeaver.

This editor has good support for these types of files and includes a popular SVG editor, with which we can draw vector graphics and introduce them into our documents.

To install bluegriffon en Debian, Ubuntu and derived with an i386 architecture (32 bits) it will be enough to do the following:

Go to the official page of bluegriffon and download the latest version for our operating system:

Once downloaded, go through the terminal (console or shell) in the directory where we downloaded it and execute the following:

sudo dpkg -i BlueGriffon*
After that, we will proceed to give it execution permissions, it will be enough to write in the console:
chmod +x BlueGriffon*

PD: (For autocompletion, the Tabulator is essential).

We push [enter] and we will see that it will not return anything, that is, the cursor will go to the next line below blinking to wait for our orders. To verify that it is an executable, just do a ls in the folder and we will see that said file has a different appearance, that is, perhaps it is colored Blue, Red, Green, etc.

Now to run it, just do the following:
./BlueGrif*

We follow the steps, etc, etc. and ready!

In 64 Bit architectures we can install it forcibly since a version for this architecture is not available.

We can execute in our terminal:
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture BlueGriffon*

One piece of news is that the package available for Debian does not create the executable in our / usr / bin.

So we will proceed to create a symbolic link for its execution:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/bluegriffon/bluegriffon /usr/bin/bluegriffon

With this we can place our launcher in the menu of our system.
