Installing Aptana Studio [edit]

Aptana Studio is based on the Eclipse platform.

You can either install Aptana Studio as an independent, standalone application (recommended) or, if you're already an Eclipse user, you can plug Studio into your existing Eclipse configuration.

If your work will primarily be web development-related, we recommend installing the standalone Aptana Studio. If your work involves Java development or non-web-related work, we recommend installing Aptana as an Eclipse plug-in.

Prerequisite: Ensure your machine meets the Aptana System Requirements.

Pro Users: After completing the base installation, see Upgrade to Aptana Studio Pro to finish.
