I am running elementary 0.2 (Ubuntu 12.04 but with a different desktop environment) and I installed Aptana studio as follows:

sudo unzip /home/connel/Downloads/Aptana_Studio_3_Setup_Linux_x86_64_3.3.0.zip -d /opt
sudo mv /opt/Aptana_Studio_3/ /opt/aptana
sudo chown -R $(whoami):$(whoami) /opt/aptana/
sudo vim /usr/share/applications/aptana.desktop

But I cannot get it to run no matter what. I get no error codes when running the following but Aptana doesn't open:

cd /opt/aptana/
./AptanaStudio3
sh AptanaStudio3.sh

I have installed the JDK on my system, Netbeans runs fine.

Are you sure you've downloaded the right platform version? I mean 32 bit or 64 bit.

To see the version you've downloaded do:

 file /opt/aptana/AptanaStudio3

Then check if your installation is 32 bit or 64 bit, do:

 uname -m

If you get i686 is a normal 32 bit installation if you get i686_64 is a 64 bit installation

For example I get:

      AptanaStudio3: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, not stripped
