- ADDED: Significant documentation. See more below
- FIX: Major usability issues on >= OSX 10.10

### How to Install Light Table 0.8.0 in Ubuntu: ###
Below steps show you how to install the official binary in Ubuntu. Works on all current Ubuntu releases (**64-bit only**).
Before getting started, please make a backup if you have a previous release installed.
**1.** Download the Linux binary from link below:
- [lighttable-0.8.0-linux.tar.gz][2]
**2.** Open terminal from Unity Dash, App Launcher, or via Ctrl+Alt+T keys. When it opens, paste below command and hit enter:
gksudo file-roller ~/Downloads/lighttable-0.8.0-linux.tar.gz
![open-via-fileroller](http://ubuntuhandbook.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/open-via-fileroller.jpg)
Install `gksu` from Ubuntu Software Center if the command does not work.
**3.** Previous command opens the downloaded archive via Archive Manager using root user privilege.
When it opens, do:
- right-click and rename the folder name to **LightTable**
- extract it to **Computer -> /opt/** directory.
![extract-lighttable](http://ubuntuhandbook.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/extract-lighttable.jpg)
Finally you should have the LightTable installed to /opt/ directory:
![lighttable-in-opt](http://ubuntuhandbook.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/lighttable-in-opt.jpg)
**4.** Create a launcher so you can start LightTable from Unity Dash or App Launcher.
Open terminal and run below command to create & edit a launcher file for LightTable:
gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/lighttable.desktop
When the file opens via Gedit text editor, paste below and save the file:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Light Table
GenericName=Text Editor
Comment=Open source IDE that modify, from running programs to embed websites and games
Exec=/opt/LightTable/LightTable %F
Terminal=false
MimeType=text/plain;
Icon=/opt/LightTable/resources/app/core/img/lticon.png
Categories=TextEditor;Development;Utility;
StartupNotify=true
Actions=Window;Document;
Name[en_US]=Light Table
[Desktop Action Window]
Name=New Window
Exec=/opt/LightTable/LightTable -n
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
[Desktop Action Document]
Name=New File
Exec=/opt/LightTable/LightTable --command new_file
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
So it looks like:
![lighttable-launcher](http://ubuntuhandbook.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/lighttable-launcher.jpg)
Finally launch the IDE from Unity Dash or Application Launcher and enjoy!
