In this tutorial, we will be learning how to install TextMate on Arch Linux. TextMate is a versatile text editor that has a unique and user-friendly interface. TextMate is packed with features that make it a popular choice among developers, designers, and writers alike.
Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys.
To install Git, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
This will install Git on your Arch Linux system.
The next step is to clone the TextMate Git repository to your system. To clone the repository, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/textmate/textmate.git
This command will clone the TextMate Git repository to your current working directory.
TextMate has several dependencies that need to be installed before we can use it. To install these dependencies, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S cmake boost libclang ncurses libgit2 subversion
This will install all the dependencies needed for TextMate to run.
Once the dependencies are installed, we can now build TextMate. To do this, navigate to the TextMate directory that you cloned earlier:
cd textmate
Next, we need to create a build directory:
mkdir build && cd build
Now, we can configure, build, and install TextMate using the following commands:
cmake .. && make && sudo make install
This will configure, build, and install TextMate on your system.
Once you have installed TextMate, you can run it using the following command:
textmate
This will launch TextMate, and you can start using it.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Git, clone the TextMate Git repository, install TextMate dependencies, build TextMate, and run it on Arch Linux. We hope this tutorial was helpful to you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments section below. Thank you for reading!
