Download Scintilla and SciTE

Download

The license for using Scintilla or SciTE is similar to that of Python containing very few restrictions.

Release 5.5.3

Source Code

The source code package contains all of the source code for Scintilla and SciTE but no binary executable code and is available in

zip format (5.2M) commonly used on Windows
tgz format (4.6M) commonly used on Linux and compatible operating systems

Instructions for building on both Windows and Linux are included in the readme file.

Windows

Windows Executables

Windows executables only support Windows 7 and later. It may be possible to build with older compilers for earlier versions of Windows but that is no longer tested.

Full 64-bit download (2.8M) includes the SciTE executable, any required DLLs, configuration files and documentation. After downloading the file, unzip it, and run SciTE.EXE. The files required to run SciTE are SciTE.EXE, SciLexer.DLL, and SciTEGlobal.properties.
Full 32-bit download (2.6M) is similar but will run on 32-bit Windows with the executable called SciTE32.EXE.
Single file 64-bit executable called Sc1 (3.8M) does not need any DLL or properties files as these are linked into the executable. You may still create properties files if you wish.
Single file 32-bit download (3.1M) is similar but will run on 32-bit Windows.

GTK / Linux

Linux executable for 64-bit Intel compatible processors

This binary release requires GTK 2.24 or later and was tested on Ubuntu 22.04. If you are using a Linux distribution more than a year old you may need to rebuild SciTE to use your installed version of GTK. If the target system is 32-bit, you will need to build SciTE from source.

A full download (3.8M) includes the 64-bit SciTE executable, shared libraries for Scintilla (libscintilla.so) and Lexilla (liblexilla.so) configuration files and documentation. After downloading the file, gunzip and untar it, and run SciTE. The files required to run SciTE are SciTE which is best located on the path (I put it in /usr/bin), the two shared libraries which go in /usr/lib/scite, 70 properties files which should be located in the /usr/share/scite directory, and Sci48M.png which should be copied to /usr/share/pixmaps.

Debian Packages

Official Debian Packages are available from Apt. There is a package page.
