Having loads of difficulty getting this set up. I've fixed up my .bash_profile, created the symlink using the following command from the sublime website:
ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/bin/subl Yet when I input that command I get:
ln: /Users/my_username/bin/subl: No such file or directory It appears my terminal is looking at the wrong place for the file? Why is it trying to point to a bin folder on my home directory?
create the symlink in /usr/local/bin instead of ~/bin and make sure that /usr/local/binin in PATH.
$ ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl /usr/local/bin/. $ echo $PATH If you don't find /usr/local/bin/, then add the following lines to your .bashrc or .zshrc
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/; export PATH This solved my sublime terminal (subl) command issue after battling for a while on Yosemite here is the source
sudo su rm /usr/local/bin/subl ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl exit if you are using "Sublime Text 2" try this:
$ ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl or, if you path is in /usr/bin/ instead /usr/local/bin
$ ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/bin/subl My similar problem was solved simply by omitting the quotes. So if you're working with:
ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/bin/subl
I instead did:
ln -s /Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl ~/bin/subl
Launch Sublime Text from the command line on OSX
Following the directions above are what worked for me. I use Sublime Text 3 and only had to c+p the below into the cli. I did this at the root level $ cd ~
If your using Sublime Text 3 c+p this into the command line:
// Sublime Text 3 $ ln -sv "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl If your using Sublime Text 2 c+p this code below into the command line:
// Sublime Text 2 $ ln -sv "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl Now test it out to see if it works
Open a new file from the command line:
$ subl test.rb // it should open new file test.rb in Sublime Text Open a project folder
$ subl dir/myProject // opens a new folder inside Sublime Launch Sublime app:
$ subl // launches Sublime To open Sublime Help for more detailed options use:
$ subl -h // Sublime help At my end subl was working fine but git was unable to access it. And was displaying these errors
subl -n -w: subl: command not found error: There was a problem with the editor 'subl -n -w'. For Mac OS X in the file ~/.gitconfig under [core] I had to put this code to solve the issue on my end.
editor = /Applications/Sublime\\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl -n -w When I dutifully copy-pasted sarbbottam's command, my terminal reported that the file already existed. I had tried copy-pasting several stack overflow answers to this problem into my terminal, so I had symlinks called "subl" and "sublime" in my /usr/local/bin: I could see the file when I listed all files in that directory with "ls -a". So I tried to open the "subl" in a text editor, and it said that the file didn't exist!
So I deleted the "subl" symlink in /usr/local/bin, ran the command, and it worked. I think I accidentally made one for Sublime Text 2 or something, and just figured I'd be overwriting the last one which was not the case.
There might be an issue with having multiple symbolic links to the same target. I removed my link "subl" and my link "sublime" still works.
