      I installed it following the instructions and i found it under Applications/Programming. Using 14.04 upgraded from fresh and updated 12.04 /w Gnome (Metacity) desktop on a Aspire 5672AWLMi.

  2. I followed the instructions and I cannot launch komodo edit from Ubuntu 14.04 it says it cannot find the application

  3. With any command i can open it ?

  4. Just do a search for “komodo-edit” on your file system. It should find a file of type “Link to Program” in your usr/bin folder. When the application launches, lock it to the launcher for quick access.

  5. hi guys, just go to the terminal and run “komodo-edit” —–>Minus the Quotes.
    It works…..!!!

  6. Hello folks, run “sudo komodo-edit” command in terminal worked for me :)
