So I've created a PPA you can use to easily install and stay up to date with the latest Sublime Text 3 (currently in beta) builds in Ubuntu and derivates. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The package in the PPA is just an installer and works like our Oracle Java Installer package: it downloads the Sublime Text 3 archive from its website and installs it on the system. The PPA does not host any Sublime Text 3 files.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Install Sublime Text 3 in Ubuntu via PPA</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Before proceeding, if you've already installed Sublime Text, make sure the application is not running</b> or else there might be some visual glitches (that's because the package in our PPA will replace any already existing Sublime Text deb packages). This only occurs when switching from the Sublime Text 3 debs downloaded from its website to the packages in our PPA.<br /><br />Also, using the instructions below, the old Sublime Text 2 package (if you've used our <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/sublime-text-2-ubuntu-ppa.html">Sublime Text 2 PPA</a>) will be replaced with the new Sublime Text 3.</div><br /><b>To add the WebUpd8 Sublime Text 3 (beta) PPA and install the application in Ubuntu 13.10, 13.04, 12.10 or 12.04 (and derivatives), use the following commands:</b><br /><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install sublime-text-installer</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">If you don't want to use our PPA or don't use Ubuntu, <b>download Sublime Text 3 </b>from <b><a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/3">HERE</a></b>.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Tip: </b>to disable new version notifications, add the following to your User Preferences file (<i>Preferences > Settings - User</i>):</div><pre class="source-code"><code>"update_check": false</code></pre><br /><i>Also see: <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/easily-discover-and-install-plugins-in.html">Easily Discover And Install Plugins In Sublime Text 2 or 3 With Sublime Package Control</a></i>

Sublime Text 3 Beta Available For Download

<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/">Sublime Text</a> is probably among the best text/code editors available for Linux, and it's cross-platform so it works on Windows and Mac OS X too. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sublime Text 2 stable was released about 7 months ago and since then, its developer has been working on a new version: <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-text-3-beta">Sublime Text 3</a>. Even though Sublime Text is not free, up until now, users could evaluate it for an unlimited period of time which basically meant you didn't really had to buy it unless you wanted to support the developer. However, the latest Sublime Text 3 beta can only be used if you've purchased a license (USD $70, pretty expensive I'd say), but the old evaluation model might be used later on.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1YCkty5328riI70bxOervsp9ByCR8bL7qUyKAQbOnhP4YxWPxcxh_kCHjniTdkVTw-ITS0jraPlZ4jVwv1QzDP3hCYl3QmwwKYPcpdOGRyamie-gPWpk3SW6ONUIN9NANk_zmWBUJ-Sl/s1600/sublime-text-3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1YCkty5328riI70bxOervsp9ByCR8bL7qUyKAQbOnhP4YxWPxcxh_kCHjniTdkVTw-ITS0jraPlZ4jVwv1QzDP3hCYl3QmwwKYPcpdOGRyamie-gPWpk3SW6ONUIN9NANk_zmWBUJ-Sl/s320/sublime-text-3.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">Starting with the latest Sublime Text 3 beta builds, the application now uses <b>Python 3.3</b> for the plugins and also, it runs them out of process so they can't crash the main Sublime Text process anymore. Also, the new version comes with new features such as Goto Definition and Goto Symbol, speed improvements, improved pane management, symbol indexing and many other changes about which you can read <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-text-3-beta">HERE</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But this is not all, since Sublime Text 3 is currently in beta, it should improve quite a lot until the final release - if you've used the alpha and beta Sublime Text 2 builds, you're probably aware of how fast new builds are released.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I maintain a Sublime Text 2 PPA but I won't be uploading any Sublime Text 3 builds yet, given that it can't be evaluated for an unlimited period of time (for free) any more. However, the there are now official deb packages available for download so you can easily install the latest Sublime Text 3 beta in Ubuntu, Linux Mint and other Debian-based Linux distributions. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you haven't tried Sublime Text before, I suggest you give version 2 a try, you'll find it <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/2">HERE</a> (and in <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/sublime-text-20-stable-released-ppa.html">our Sublime Text PPA</a>).</div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/3">Download Sublime Text 3 beta</a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Also see: <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/easily-discover-and-install-plugins-in.html">Sublime Package Control</a> - a tool to easily install plugins; it's like apt, but for Sublime Text.</i></div>
