Brackets: libgcrypt11 dependency not satisfied.

Created on 2 Oct 2016 · 3Comments · Source: adobe/brackets

When installing Brackets in Ubuntu 16.04 I get an error saying that the dependencies are not satisfied. After reading online Brackets using an old version of libgcrypt. Is this something that is going to be updated. I am currently using the latest version of brackets.

For completeness there is this guide: https://nathanjplummer.github.io/Brackets/
My suggest for Linux users is to use brackets-electron.

as a full time Linux user, I concur with @ficristo . There are some limitations to Brackets-Electron (I don't believe Live Preview works but I don't use it), but there are numerous advantages:

retains window size between sessions
doesn't require hitting the window close X button twice to close the window
native menus vs. html menus
no dependency issues as above. Can also run via AppImage which isolates from dependencies
