There are many ways of installing Sublime Text 3 on Linux, but if you’re looking for a fast, straightforward way, I believe you are in the right place.

This script will install the latest build of Sublime Text 3.

Open your terminal and run:

curl -L git.io/sublimetext | sh

It will install the Package Control as well, so you don’t have to do it yourself.

If you are interested to see the actual code behind, here we go:

It should work on most Linux distros; if not, please let me know by leaving a comment below. I’m here to help.

Enjoy!

Update: When I wrote this script, my motivation was that there was no easy way to install Sublime Text on Linux. However, nowadays there is an official repository providing builds for all the major Linux package managers: see here.
