EditMagic (best ever text editor*)

* As determined by the author of the program. 

Installation Instructions:

I really wanted to make this automated but haven't figured out yet how to do that.  So...

1.  Many computers come with java pre-installed so typing:

where java

into the command line may give you that information.

But if you don't have java installed on your computer, install it by going to:

https://www.java.com/en/

After Java is installed you are ready to install editmagic.

2. Choose or make a directory to hold the product (for example: mkdir c:\myapps\editmagic)

3. Download all the modules into that directory using the buttons below (except use Bat for windows or SH for linux)

4. For linux, make the shell executable by typing: chmod +x editmagic.sh 

5. For windows, edit the editmagic.bat module PATH=: 

First try removing C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\bin\ in the path if your computer already has a system defined definition of where java is located, or, if that doesnt work (when you initiate the program below), change C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\bin\ to the location of your java jdk (it will most likely be a subdirectory of 

C:\Program Files\Java ending with \bin\

or

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\

6. Navigate to the directory containing editmagic with the following or similar command:

cd c:\myapps\editmagic

7. Initiate the program by opening a terminal window and typing:

editmagic (for windows)

 ./editmagic.sh (for linux)

The java program should pop up in a new window and you can navigate to the help screen with view->HELP!
