Notepad++ is a popular text editor for Windows, but with a few extra steps it can also be installed on Ubuntu Server Latest. This tutorial will walk you through the process of installing Notepad++ on Ubuntu Server.
Before starting, make sure your Ubuntu Server is up to date by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Notepad++ is a Windows application, so to run it on Ubuntu Server we need to install Wine, which is a compatibility layer that enables Windows applications to run on Linux.
To install Wine, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install wine
Next, download the latest version of Notepad++ from their official website at https://notepad-plus-plus.org/. Make sure to download the 32-bit version, as the 64-bit version is not compatible with Wine.
Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory where the Notepad++ installer is located and right-click on it. Select "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader". This will launch the Notepad++ installer in Wine.
Follow the installer prompts to complete the installation process. Once it's finished, Notepad++ should be installed and ready to use.
To launch Notepad++, open the terminal and type the following command:
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe
This will launch Notepad++. You can now use it to edit text files on your Ubuntu Server.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Notepad++ on Ubuntu Server Latest. While it can be a bit tricky to get it up and running, it's definitely worth the effort if you're a Windows user who's more comfortable with Notepad++.
