Debugging using Linux Editor

Unity Engine

First of all, 3 thumbs up for the makers of Unity for making a Linux version of the editor.
I’m using the all-new Unity 5.5.0 (on Manjaro Linux). To get it to run I had to install three packages:
monodevelop, npm, and postgresql-libs
It wouldn’t start without error unless I installed monodevelop v5.10.1

So, how do I get it to do line-by-line debugging, so I can step through the code in Monodevelop when running the game in the Unity Editor? It doesn’t seem to have set it up during the install script (I used the alternative script as Manjaro doesn’t do .deb files AFAIK).

If I go into RUN > Debug Application, all fields are blank.
RUN > attach process shows no processes and no options available in the Debugger drop-down.
It’s it just a matter of putting things in there, and if so what?

Thanks in advance!

It doesn’t work out of the box in stock MonoDevelop - you need to either use the one provided by Unity, or build your own version of the Unity Utilities addin.
