+ Oops! I can't find the brackets index.html file
+ The "brackets" folder that contains the HTML/CSS/JS source code for Brackets might be missing. Here are some tips for troubleshooting:
+
+ - If you downloaded Brackets from GitHub, you might have clicked the "Download as ZIP" button, which doesn't work. Instead, go to https://github.com/adobe/brackets/downloads and choose the newest ZIP file link under "Download Packages".
+ - If you cloned the brackets-app repo from GitHub, make sure your submodules are updated by running
git submodule update --init --recursive inside the brackets-app folder.
+ - Don't move the Brackets.exe file out of the bin/win directory. (We'll make a real installer eventually.)
+ - If all else fails, contact us at:
+
+ - Twitter: @brackets
+ - IRC: #brackets on freenode
+ - Developer mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/brackets-dev
+
+
+
+ Sorry about the inconvenience. We're still really early in development and haven't had time to build an installer.
