How to install Aptana Studio 3 on Ubuntu 13.10

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 echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu precise main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list

sudo echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu precise main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEA14886

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

2. Download Aptana Studio:
