Brackets is an open-source text editor that is famous for its modern user interface and powerful features that make it a popular choice among developers. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Brackets on Manjaro.
Before installing any software, we should update our system package list to ensure that we have the latest updates and security patches.
To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:

Brackets can be installed on Manjaro from the official repositories or by downloading the installer package from their website.
To install it from the official repositories, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S brackets
This command will download and install the latest version of Brackets on your system.
Alternatively, if you want to download the installer package from their website, follow these steps:

Replace "[version]" with the version number of the installer file and "[ext]" with the file extension, which could be ".zip," ".tar.bz2," or "_x86_64.deb," depending on your system.
sudo ./Brackets.Release.[version].extract.[ext]
Again, replace "[version]" and "[ext]" with the actual version number and file extension, respectively.
