We already saw en FromLinux the new opensource editor for HTML, CSS y JavaScript that Adobe has created and made available to all by distributing it under an MIT License. Yes incredibly Adobe has launched an open source product.
Adobe is a company that offers very good products related to Design, Multimedia and Web Technology, and until now, all of them had to pay a license to be able to use them in the long term. Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, are just an example of it.
brackets It is not the first step that Adobe da in the world OpenSourcealready in FromLinux we had seen as a year ago they published a family of fonts called Source Sans Pro (the same one used by our theme: P) under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
We also saw how to install it en Ubuntu 13.04 and the good news is, it is also in the repositories AUR de ArchLinux, so it should be enough to put in the terminal:
$ yaourt -S brackets-git
But it turns out that I don't use Yogurt, and when trying to create the installation package with pkg, I needed some dependencies that are also in AUR. In short, too much work.
Ya I had lowered the binary in format .deb to install it in debian wheezy, but due to dependency problems it was impossible. At the time I wrote this article, the Brackets site was down.
It turns out that a .deb what it has inside are the files that must be placed in certain folders, in the case of brackets en / Usr / share /, so in theory, if I copy everything where each folder indicates, I could execute brackets. So it was.
I unzipped the .deb using Ark, and I had a folder called brackets-sprint-28-LINUX64. I went to that folder and unzipped the file data.tar.gz, which created me a folder called usr. I accessed it through a terminal and ran:
$ sudo cp bin / brackets / usr / bin / $ sudo cp -R lib / brackets / / usr / lib64 / $ sudo cp -R share / applications / brackets.desktop / usr / share / applications / $ sudo cp share / icons /hicolor/scalable/apps/brackets.svg / usr / share / icons / hicolor / scalable / apps /
In a few seconds I had the icons of brackets in the menu, but when I ran it nothing happened. I did it through a terminal and it started throwing errors at me:
/ usr / lib / brackets / Brackets: error while loading shared libraries: libplc4.so.0d: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory / usr / lib / brackets / Brackets: error while loading shared libraries: libnspr4.so .0d: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory / usr / lib / brackets / Brackets: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so. 0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The rest was easy, I just had to put in the terminal:
$ sudo ln -sf /lib64/libplc4.so /lib64/libplc4.so.0d $ sudo ln -sf /lib64/libnspr4.so /lib64/libnspr4.so.0d $ sudo ln -sf /lib64/libudev.so / lib64 / libudev.so.0
And ready. I already have Brackets working without so much mess in ArchLinux.
I will test it thoroughly and make a comparison of Brackets vs SublimeText. 
