Install Sublime Text 2 on Ubuntu
If you visit the official website of Sublime Text, you can download the tarball package, extract it on your computer, and execute the Sublime Text binary. But there is an easier way by using PPA. What it does is download the tarball package from Sublime Text website, extract it on computer and create desktop file, so you can launch it from Unity Dash or via right click on the file.

Well, open Terminal and type the following command to install Sublime Text 2:

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install sublime-text
