Works like a charm. Had to modify it a bit, I already installed sublime in /opt

Awesome work !!!

for sublime beta 3 modified script.

Works perfectly. I just get one error when starting sublime:
"/usr/local/bin/subl: 2: [: ==: unexpected operator"

Any idea where this unexpected operator comes from?
I installed on Ubuntu 13.04, 32bit.

Strongground, this should work without error

I like the repo mentioned above:

wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/sublime2.repo http://repo.cloudhike.com/sublime2/fedora/sublime2.repo
yum -y install sublime-text

Sadly, though the repo doesn't seemed to be maintained anymore. The newest build is a year old, and the newest Fedora versions supported is also a year old...

I can't see the Sublime icon under Applications after running this script. How do I fix this?

@uccmen you need to update the Icon path in the sublime_text.desktop file. Icons are under the /opt/sublime_text/Icon folder (assuming you have installed it there).

Guys, if you need to install Sublime Text 3 in other Linux distros, try this script:
https://gist.github.com/simonewebdesign/8507139

really nice, works like a charm for me too ..
Thanks guys (Y)
