How to open Sublime 2 in the command prompt

[MagiCyle]

Hi,

I'm new to programming. I followed the Ruby Kit installation
instructions from the video on railsinstaller. I'm stumped on how to
open Sublime 2 in command prompt.

[Setup
The first task is to make a symlink to subl. Assuming you've placed
Sublime Text 2 in the Applications folder, and that you have a ~/bin
directory in your path, you can run:
ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/
subl" ~/bin/subl]

How do I place Sublime Text 2 in the Applications folder? Which
Applications folder?
How do I get a ~/bin directory in my path?
How do I run: ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/
SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/bin/subl ?

Them, how do I run: subl --help? Type "subl --help" into the command
prompt & hit enter?

Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Your problem is that you're using instructions for OS X (as stated at the top of the page) and not for Windows.

When using a text editor, using the command line to launch it is optional - it just so happens that in some cases it's more convenient to do (e.g. TextMate, Redcar, gVim) and that's why some people recommend that approach.

But for the case of Sublime Text 2 for Windows, it's simply easier to just open Sublime Text (Start -> All Programs -> Sublime Text 2) and add the folder you want to the current project via Project -> Add Folder to Project...

Hi Evan,

So I go to http://railsinstaller.org/ and download the Kit and follow the step by step instruction attached. Everything seems to be workng great until I get to the part where its says to download sublime, which I've been using for a few months now already so it was already installed.. next, It asks me to  "- After downloading and installing Sublime Text you'll need to install its command line functionality:

• The first task is to make a symlink to subl. Assuming you've placed Sublime Text 2 in the Applications folder, and that you have a ~/bin directory in your path, you can run:

" So I go ahead and paste the: ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/bin/subl
and then nothing... I am not a programmer just a newby, and I'm stuck... I need to get this going for my first ruby class tonight and I am hoping I can get this on my mac since its impossible to make it work on my windows machine. I've been at it for 4 hours...

Any ideas?

Best,

V-

Hi Victor,

It's likely that `~/bin` is not in your path. Can you please run `echo $PATH` from the command line and paste the output?

Thanks,

Evan Machnic

I know this post is old but i figured out a simple way to open sublime text in windows CMD (AKA command prompt) 

and i didn't find this any were so i decided to share for those having trouble with this.

1)find the sublime_text.exe directory. i found mine in C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\ (copy the directory with (CTRL + C) if its the same.)

2) go too START > right-click computer> go to properties> go to advanced system settings on the left side> at the bottom of the advanced tab click environment Variables>

then go to the system variables box (the bottom box), and scroll until you find "PATH". (NOT PATH TEXT) >click it and scroll to the end of the path variables box.

*(WARNING DON'T DELETE ANYTHING FROM THIS PATH UNLESS YOU KNOW YOU PUT IT THERE.)*  then add to it " ; "  and past "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\"  

the semicolon separates the lines all the directories aren't read as one. 

when your done the new path entry should look like this Example  ";C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\" (click ok)

now you can test it going into cmd by pressing the (windows key + R) and type CMD enter, or goto start type cmd and click cmd or type enter. then type without changing directory "sublime_text" [enter] and it should open.

this last part isn't needed but i did it to make it so i can open sublime text by typing st2 in cmd.

3) open a txt file in notepad> type the line 

"START sublime_text %1" 

go to the file save as> navigate to "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\" > type "st2.bat" in file name box> then change the save as type to "all" and click save.

now you can test by typing st2 in cmd and it should open sublime_text. 

Enjoy!
