hi, is this confirmed working in fedora24? thanks!

Yes! I am using Fedora 24 and it work fine for me. 👍 Great job!

Getting Error
/usr/local/bin/subl: line 2: [: ==: unary operator expected

Very convenient script, thanks !

I just had to change one line to make it work on FEDORA 24:

$ curl -LO git.io/sublimetext
$ sed -i '\,sudo mv $HOME/Package,i sudo mkdir -p "$INSTALLATION_DIR/Installed Packages"' sublimetext
$ sh sublimetext

HI neok-m4700 can you give me the script you have used for fedora 24?
I was using sublime-text2 on fedora 22 after upgrading to fedora 24 i am not able to open sublimet-text2

@praneethng here you go. I made 2 changes at lines #35 and #36
https://gist.github.com/shanginn/046eb3dfdd419a9aae3e2c078c7569a3
But I'm not really sure does it work or not.

I've updated the script to no longer install Package Control, as it can now be installed very easily by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P and typing "package control".

Sublime Text appears to have an official repo for installing on Fedora now. Does this still need to exist? It has served me well, but at this point I just want migration/removal instructions so that I can safely switch to the official repo.

Nice, finally, thanks for pointing that out.

For the migration, unless you have fancy stuff, all you need to do is save your user configuration somewhere (e.g. one convention is to have a dotfiles repository, but you might as well just make a gist or keep it somewhere else), also keep note of your plugins and themes. When you're ready just do rm -rf $(which subl).
