README installation instructions do not work (Brackets Sprint 24) #5

Closed jfsiii closed 11 years ago

TL;DR; Just use File -> Install Extension: https://s3.amazonaws.com/theseus-downloads/theseus-0.2.8.zip

Doesn't work:

Does work:

My preference would be to update the README to detail the Install Extension approach. It's much less work (and much more successful).

Install Extension doesn't always work because of this issue: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/3734 Since Theseus has many files (and subdirectories), that bug happens extremely often. (I had a classroom of 30 students and maybe a third of them tripped over the race condition.)

I'll update the README about the location, though. Is renaming necessary? I usually leave the name as brackets-theseus.

Ah, you're right. It's only the location that's incorrect. The folder name seems inconsequential.

Cool. And thanks very much!
