I just downloaded sublime text editor but I seem not to know the right app to open it with in order to install it
1 Answer
Run the following commands one after another to install sublime text from the terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text-installer
After that you will find Sublime Text 3 from Menu->Accessories->Application Finder
and search for Sublime Text
. Then you can drag and drop it on the taskbar. You can also open it from the terminal using subl [nameOfTheFile.ext]
. Type the name of the file if you want to open it or create a file with that name. Then each time you run update50
(or sudo apt-get upgrade
thereof) Sublime Text will be updated to the latest version.

I tried entering the commands but I get this error: Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3'. Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.– user8128Aug 12, 2015 at 7:43

I actually got the 'tar.bz2' file from the site of sublime. I extracted it but I can't open the executable file 'sublime_text'– user8128Aug 12, 2015 at 8:03
