Whenever I try to run this command 

sh /opt/Aptana_Studio_3/AptanaStudio3.sh

for the Aptana Studio 3 from root directory it shows that 

/opt/Aptana_Studio_3/AptanaStudio3.sh: 3: /opt/Aptana_Studio_3/AptanaStudio3.sh: ./AptanaStudio3: not found

but when i go to the directory it is executed easily.

Since I made shortcut for the given file and it shows

there was error launching the application and so i think the error as in the above command could be the reason for this. If There is something else please let me know.

  • Can you clarify a little bit? Do you mean when your current working directory is /root or when you are logged in as root it will not work? And when you cd to the directory and run AptanaStudio3.sh it does run? I think that's what you mean. Are you logged in root? Do you need to be? How did you log in root? I may be able to better answer your question with some clarity. Commented Apr 7, 2014 at 5:39
  • ohk.....I one terminal and then simply type the command i.e. sh ./opt/Aptana_Studio_3/AptanaStudio3.sh Then It Shows me the error no such file or Directory all these commands are without sudo.. Secondly when change directory to the folder and then run ./AptanaStudio3.sh it works perfectly Commented Apr 10, 2014 at 4:16

Open /opt/Aptana_Studio_3/AptanaStudio3.sh script.

sudo gedit /opt/Aptana_Studio_3/AptanaStudio3.sh

There should be the line (apparently, the 3rd) which actually launches Aptana Studio. Change it to /opt/Aptana_Studio_3/AptanaStudio3. The reason is there should be absolute path, not relative.

  • Please clarify. What does it show in the output? Commented Apr 9, 2014 at 4:24
  • ./opt/Aptana_Studio_3/AptanaStudio3: No such file or directory Commented Apr 10, 2014 at 4:14
  • Notice the dot before /opt. It means that this path is still relative and starts in the current directory. To make path absolute, just remove the dot. Commented Apr 10, 2014 at 4:19
  • ohk....thanx it working....fine..and also thanx for letting me know the this relative and absolute path system Commented Apr 10, 2014 at 4:23
