Auto link to latest build?

[D219]

I am currently making a install script to setup a my environment on multiple machines.
What I am aiming to do is to install sublime text in the middle of it, and I d like to automatically install the latest build. However, I couldn’t find a link resolving to it.

While I can use https://download.sublimetext.com/sublime_text_3_build_3126_x64.tar.bz2 temporarily, it would be out of date at the next build. Would it be possible to make something like https://download.sublimetext.com/sublime_text_3_latest_build_x64.tar.bz2 that would redirect on whatever is the latest link?

Also, is it possible to register from the command line? So I don’t have to manually register it afterward?

Fixed download url for latest version

You do not want to download the entire html page. Following the idea of FichteFoll, I found http://www.sublimetext.com/updates/3/stable/updatecheck?platform=linux&arch=x64 Given the output { "latest_version": 3126, "update_url": "https://www.sublimetext.com/3", "manifest_host": "www.sublimetext.com", "update_host": "download.sublimetext.com", "manifest_path_osx": "/_pak/sublime_text_osx_3126.manifest.xz", "update_path_osx": "/sublime_text_osx_3126.pak.xz", "m…

by register you mean enter license key?

That question answer my first part perfectly, thanks a lot. I should search deeper next time before asking.

Yes, by register I mean entering the license key, the machines will only be used by me (at least the account where ST3 will be installed on).

You can save a textual version of your license key as ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Local/License.sublime_license to enter the license information to do something like this.

The file should have the format:

----- BEGIN LICENSE -----
Your Name
Single User License
0000-0000000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

License installation (Silently)

I did try that and I see that it does create the file in that location. We are using roaming profiles though so it's under: C:\Users\adent\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Local\License.sublime_license It is showing as a SUBLIME_LICENSE file and binary. However if I try to move it to one of the other machines that need the license they still show up as unregistered.
