This seems to be a recurring issue on the mailing list, so it might make everyone's life easier to simply inform the user about missing libraries and how to fix that inside brackets. I added a simple script at the end of bracket.html that checks whether all required libraries are loaded after a fixed time interval (1 second) and informs the user if something is missing.

@jdiehl - thanks for submitting this. It is definitely one of the top support issues when running from source.

I have some suggestions on the wording to simplify things a bit:

Missing Libraries

Oops! One or more required libraries could not be found.

If you are running from a local copy of the Brackets source, please make sure submodules are updated by running

git submodule update --init

If you're still having problems, please contact us via one of the channels mentioned in the README

Reload Brackets

I am opening the local version of the README in a new window to avoid users being stuck in the README (there are no navigation buttons).
