How to install from source code?

[aldaleel]

I have read :
#11380
https://github.com/adobe/brackets-shell/wiki/Building-brackets-shell#linux
https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/How-to-Hack-on-Brackets

I understand that if I want to use brackets I MUST use binaries?
How to install the app itself using source code?
then I would like to start contributing maybe..
Can you please make a tutorial on how to install brackets into /opt/brackets in linux from source?
That would be great, Thanks

Although the documentation is dated, the steps still apply for setting Brackets up for development. Once you have the setup the brackets and brackets-shell you should be able to build the shell. At least you need a c++ compiler. The shell binary will be build locally in the brackets-shell. If you want it to install in /opt/brackets there is no automated way of doing it.
