Cannot run Sublime text editor on Tahrpup 6.0.2 (SOLVED)

[JoshuaXD]

I am running Tahrpup 6.0.2 off a 2GB usb drive. (Created with Linux Live USB Creator.)

I am trying to install the Sublime Text editor.

I downloaded the .tar.bz file of version 2 from their website.

I unzipped it into the "my-applications" folder.

Inside the folder is:

Code: Select all

Icon/ (containing icons...)
lib/ (containing python26.zip)
Pristine Packages/ (containing a bunch of archived add-on packages)
PackageSetup.py
sublime_pluging.py
sublime_text

Everything I can find makes it clear that I should just be able to run the sublime_text file. The "installation" instructions I have found are on how to create desktop shortcuts or links.

For instance, these Ubuntu install instructions:

Code: Select all

wget http://c758482.r82.cf2.rackcdn.com/Sublime\ Text\ 2.0.2\ x64.tar.bz2
tar vxjf Sublime\ Text\ 2.0.2\ x64.tar.bz2
sudo mv Sublime\ Text\ 2 /opt/
sudo ln -s /opt/Sublime\ Text\ 2/sublime_text /usr/bin/sublime

So after extracting the files, clicking on the "sublime_text" file does nothing.

From the console, in the application's folder, I get the following:

Code: Select all

root# sublime_text
   bash: sublime_text: command not found

There is no other obvious result. No windows opening. Nothing.

The properties window for sublime_text gives permissions as rwxr-xr-x

I have also tried Sublime Text Version 3. That has a .deb installer. Running it seems to work, but clicking on the "Sublime Text" item in the menu does nothing.

In case it is relevant, my computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop L412, without a functioning hard disk.

In searching online, I have not been able to find anything specifically related to running Sublime on Puppy Linux. Ubuntu related issues seem to mostly be around permissions and desktop integration.

You did get the Linux 32 bit version?
Tahrpup is a 32 bit operating system.

I downloaded the .tar.bz file of version 2 from their website.

I got it to work for me.

In Rox file manager.
What I did was to left click on the Sublime 2.0.2.tar.bz2 file
It opens in Xarchive.
Select "Select all".
Select"extract".
Select "OK".

It will extract all the files to a directory named Sublime text 2 in the same location as the Sublime 2.0.2.tar.bz file.

Open the Sublime text 2 directory .
Click on sublime_text.

Probably a good idea to move the Sublime text 2 directory to /usr/share



.deb packages usually have a good chance of installing OK, but the menu entries usually have some type of problem.

It is better to just make a desktop icon to run the program.

Find whatever file runs the program and drag it to the desktop.

the command in the terminal from within the folder is

Code: Select all

./sublime_text

That was exactly the problem. I needed the 32 bit version. It is running just fine now, exactly as expected.

Thank you!
