Pluma Overview

Pluma is an Open Source text editor for Linux from the MATE Desktop project. This page now links to the official Pluma 1.28.1 source archive from the MATE Desktop GitHub release, allowing the package to be saved locally before installation or packaging work. Pluma is commonly used for editing text files, scripts, configuration files, notes, and lightweight development documents on MATE-based Linux desktops. It supports tabs, syntax highlighting, search and replace, line numbers, bracket matching, and plugin-based extensions. The source archive is useful for Linux maintainers, offline package builders, and controlled desktop environments where software sources are mirrored internally. To prepare offline: download the Pluma source archive, copy it to the Linux build or package machine, and install through the distribution packaging workflow or local build process. The Pluma offline installer is the standalone setup distribution for Linux, with the full setup file suitable for offline deployment on developer workstations and CI/build machines that cannot reach the vendor's update servers during install.
