1. Apnata Studio 를 다운받고 home 디렉토리 밑에 원하는 곳에 압축을 푼다
2. xulrunner 1.8.* 을 설치한다. (시넵틱 관리자를 이용하면 편하다)
3. xulrunner가 설치된 위치를 확인한다. (시넵틱으로 설치했다면, /usr/lib/xulrunner 에 설치가 된다)
4. AptanaStudio 실행 아이콘이 있는 곳에다 파일 하나를 생성한다. runAptana 라는 이름을 붙여주자.
내용은 다음과 같다.

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/xulrunner
/home/myUtils/devTools/aptana/aptana/AptanaStudio

MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME 는 xulrunner 가 설치된곳.
/home/myUtils/devTools/aptana/aptana/AptanaStudio 는 AptanaStudio 실행아이콘이 있는 위치.

5. 이제 runAptana 를 실행스크립트로 만들어준다
chmod +x runAptana
