For those sticking to the latest Komodo Edit (10.1.1 so far), you can use the official Linux binaries though there’s no Unity Menubar support. And below is a step by step guide shows you how to install the Komodo Edit in Ubuntu 16.04.

1. Download Komodo Edit, Linux (x86) for 32-bit or Linux (x86_64) for 64-bit OS, from the link below:

Or just run cd ~/Downloads/Komodo-Edit-* command instead in terminal to navigate to extracted folder.

3. When the terminal opens, run the install script via command:

./install.sh

And hit Enter to install Komodo Edit to default location (user’s root directory) for single use.

The installer does not provide uninstall option at the moment, but you can easily remove the installation by running command:

sudo rm -rf ~/Komodo-Edit* /opt/Komodo-Edit* ~/.local/share/applications/komodo-edit* /usr/local/share/applications/komodo-edit*
