Licence and installation
What does it take to get hold of this software and install it?
All of the text editors we looked at for this Roundup are free and open source. In the case of Geany, the version in the Ubuntu 21.10 repository was a bit out of date so we built the program from source code downloaded from the Geany website. This was straightforward once we’d installed the build-essential, intltool and libgtk-3-dev packages using apt, and run the configure and made scripts in the usual way.
