How to update Sublime Text 3 in ubuntu 16.04

Update Sublime Text 3 in Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 (Installing is also OK).

1. Check the path of your executable (e.g.

   subl

   ) if you have one (if you know where your installation is e.g. in

   /opt/sublime_text

   you may skip this step):

cat $(which subl)

This will look inside the executable for the installation path.

Alternatively you can use a command likelocate sublime_text/to help you find the installation directory.

1. Overwrite your old installation e.g.

sudo cp -rf sublime_text_3/. /opt/sublime_text/

1. Remove the extracted .bz2

rm -rf sublime_text_3

And you're done!
