How to install Sublime Text 3 in Ubuntu

I am quite having fun with Ubuntu on Oracle virtual box.In last blog post, I have already shown you how you can run ASP.NET 5 (vNext) app in Ubuntu. Now we are going to setup development environment for ASP.NET 5(vNext) and my preferred choice of editor is sublime text. If you have not heard about Sublime Text you should visit following link.

http://www.sublimetext.com/3

As we all know Sublime Text is a popular editor and  now Sublime Text3 is available with beta version for both registered users and general public. The Webupd8 team created a Personal Package repository containing the installer for Ubuntu and Linux. So we can install it very easily on Ubuntu.

So first thing we need to do is add PPA repository to Ubuntu via running following command.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3

It will load PPA repository into Ubuntu like below.



Now it’s time to update your apt-get package cache via following command.

sudo apt-get update

Now once you are done with cache update. It’s time to install the Sublime Text via following command.

sudo apt-get install sublime-text-installer

And It will load install Sublime Text Editor.



Once you are done with installing Sublime Text can load it with following command.

subl

It will load Sublime Text Editor like following.



That’s it. Hope you like it. Stay tuned for more. In future post I will show you how to use sublime text to develop ASP.NET 5(vNext) application.
