Any distro: Flatpak from Flathub
Flathub lists it as “Sublime Text” (com.sublimetext.three), described as “Sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose”. The listing is not verified, so Sublime HQ has not confirmed it as its own package; Flathub shows “Sublime HQ Pty Ltd” as the developer name. It has been installed 404,380 times, number 47 of the 61 apps in our catalog that have a Flathub install count. Flathub does not flag its license as free software, so it may be proprietary.
Linux Mint, Pop!_OS and Zorin OS have Flathub enabled out of the box, Fedora offers it as an optional third-party repository, and on Ubuntu you install Flatpak first.
Which install method should you use for Sublime Text?
Use Flatpak: Flathub is the only install method in our data besides the vendor’s download.
- Sublime HQ’s own download. Sublime HQ publishes the Linux version itself on its website.
- Flatpak from Flathub. It is not a verified listing, so check that you trust its maintainer. No distro repository we track carries this app, so it is the route that works on any distro.
