sublimetext2 - Sublime Text 2: can't create symlink to subl, says "bin/subl: No such file or directory"

Question

I've downloaded and installed Sublime text 2. I am following the directions here: but I am stuck at this part:

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 " ~/bin/subl

However, when I do this it tells me /Users/User/bin/subl: No such file or directory.

What should I do?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I'd recommend adding it to your local bin:

ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl

Edit: Make sure your local bin directory exists before running this command:

mkdir /usr/local/bin
