Install Sublime Text on OpenSUSE

Download Sublime Text tarball from the following link:
http://www.sublimetext.com/3
(Ubuntu 64 bit - also available as a tarball for other Linux distributions.)

Extract the downloaded file sublime_text_3_build_3114_x64.tar.bz2

Once unpacked, you will get a directory called “sublime_text_3″, inside this directory you will see a list files that required by Sublime Text to run.
For example, go to the folder sublime_text_3 and open new terminal window and type ./sublime_text, sublime text editor will open. But everytime, doing this way to open a sublime text editor is not a good idea.

For security reason, we move this folder under “/opt” location. For this enter the following command:
sudo mv sublime_text_3 /opt/ 
sudo mv Sublime\ Text\ 3 /opt/ (if folder name is Sublime Text 3)

Next create a symbolic link to call “Sublime Text” from the command line as “sublime”. To do, create a symbolic link under “/usr/bin” as shown below.
sudo ln -s /opt/sublime_text_3/sublime_text /usr/bin/sublime

Now, you are ready to use sublime text. Just type sublime in terminal, sublime text editor will open.
