I suggest attach ' %U' to the line "Exec=/usr/local/sublime-text-2/sublime_text".
It will enable mime type association in Gnome 3. Without this, we cannot open anything with Sublime Text 2 in the Nautilus GUI environment.

On fedora 18 in virtualbox VM on Mac OSX, first tried method of @xtranophilist: don't know where it's installed or how to fire it up... Then tried the shell script, that worked, also got an icon in activities, but when i click it, nothing happens. So, i'll download the tar from sublime text 2 site (which i should've done first anyway) and check if 'just' unzipping that works :)

if you install from the script, sublime will be installed at "/usr/local/sublime-text-2"
if from the repo then sublime will install itself at "/usr/local/sublime-text/" !!

the first doesn't work for me (fedora18), neither is the menu link, the second approach does!
it puts the "sublime" executable into your PATH (/usr/bin ) so you can start it from command.

@michahell
as @nvurgaft said, you can launch sublime from anywhere since it's in your path (/bin/sublime).

Also, I can see Sublime2 under Applications in Gnome.

In my case, to enable command line use, the contents of /usr/bin/sublime/ should be:

if [ "${1}" == "--help" ]; then
/usr/local/sublime-text-2/sublime_text --help
else
/usr/local/sublime-text-2/sublime_text $@ > /dev/null 2>&1 &
fi

and I'm in fedora 18.
Hope for some use.

Thanks!! Works great on Fedora 19.

However, you might wanna add an extra line at the end to insert a symbolic link the application at /usr/bin to enable terminal shortcut as follows:

ln -s /usr/local/sublime-text-2/sublime_text /usr/bin/sublime-text

An example can be found at this fork: https://gist.github.com/sayak-sarkar/5810101

Thanks! Works great!!!

I just needed to change the SCRIPT var a little bit, adding quotes in $1 parameter, cause when I call "subl" without a path specified as a parameter gave me a error:


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

SCRIPT="#!/bin/sh
if [ \"\${1}\" == \"--help\" ]; then
    /usr/local/sublime-text-2/sublime_text --help
else
    /usr/local/sublime-text-2/sublime_text \$@ > /dev/null 2>&1 &

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.

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...

@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:
