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.

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
