Post split from http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=97158 and moved here. New problems deserve new topics
I think you can just run the program from the extracted tarball. A member on our Community site has put together an extensive manual on how to install this program to your system in such a way that it is also added to your menu and such. See here: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/907. If you are on Linux Mint MATE, note that you should replace the "gksu gedit" part of commands with "gksu pluma". If you are on Linux Mint KDE, that would instead be "kdesu kate".

I'm working my way through the tutorial, I'm struggling with this part
This is where I run into problems, it appears the tutorial is attempting to move a file here (as super user) but I cannot see a destination folder for where we wish move the file
Code: Select all
sudo mv Sublime\ Text\ 2 sublime
sudo mv sublime /opt/
Re: How do I install sublime text 2 text editor?
Well, I think it is renaming first the directory "Sublime Text 2" to sublime. Then that directory sublime is moved to /opt. /opt is in the root of your filesystem.

Oh and a shameless self-plug:
here's the settings you might want to look at if you want to set a default-syntax so you don't have to pick a new one everytime you open it.

Re: How do I install sublime text 2 text editor?
I am also trying to install Sublime Text 2 and I get the following error after the 'sudo mv sublime /opt/' command:
I'm not sure what this means or how to deal with it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am running Maya MATE 64-bit.
Code: Select all
levi@levi-Inspiron-1525 ~/Downloads $ sudo mv sublime /opt/
mv: cannot move `sublime' to `/opt/sublime': Directory not empty
Re: How do I install sublime text 2 text editor?
It means there is already something in /opt/sublime, so moving sublime to /opt would overwrite that. Check what files are already in /opt/sublime?
