Newbie Help installing Editpad on Ubuntu
|

| Hi, I'm new to Linux.
Can anyone point me in the right direction installing Editpad?
The file is located here...
http://www.editpadpro.com/linux.html
(SetupEditPadLiteFull)
The help file says type the following in to a terminal...
../SetupEditPadLite
That doesn't do anything
I tried
../SetupEditPadLiteFull
That didn't work
I tried double clicking it, still no luck
Then I tried
install SetupEditPadLiteLinuxFull editpad
All that seemed to do was make a second copy called editpad
That's about all I could think of.
Has anyone got any advice?

../SetupEditPadLite tells it to run the script of that name in the 'current
directory'. Do 'ls -l' in that directory and tell us what it shows.

Well that certainly answeres the question, it's a Windows executable.
From the website http://www.editpadlite.com/editpadlite.html:
---
EditPad Lite is a general-purpose text editor, designed to be small and
compact, yet offer all the functionality you expect from a basic text
editor. EditPad Lite works with Windows NT4, 98, 2000, ME and XP.
---
I'm afraid this wont run on your Ubuntu box very well. From the looks of
the screenshots maybe gvim or Kedit/Gedit would do the trick for you? If
your running Gnome, try Gedit. Foot-> Accessories-> Text Editor.

PUNK ROCK!! DISCO DUCK!! BIRTH CONTROL!!

I just installed this on my Debian box. It's a decent editor (the free
one) but I'd still use Kate. Anyway, you need to download the linux
version here:
http://www.editpadpro.com/linux.html
make sure you get the one that says editpad for linux complete, then
extract, and run ./SetupEditPadLiteLinux and specify a directory like
/usr/local/editpad or it will install in your /home folder
