Debian (Raspbian) Unable to Locate Package

#1

I’m new to linux, so I may have done something wrong, but it seems my apt-get can’t find the package ‘sublime-text’. I did all the previous steps and tinkered around with a few things, but sublime won’t download.
Here’s the command and response:

RPi-JD:/home/pi$ sudo apt-get install sublime-text
Reading package lists… Done

E: Unable to locate package sublime-text

It could also be because I’m working on a raspberry pi, but it seems an odd error for an incompatibility.

See Sublime Text for Raspberry Pi 3 with Rasbian OS

Albeit from 2016, I think the situation regarding an ARM port hasn’t changed: There is none, therefore nothing in the package repositories.

You might want to try an alternative editor, vim or emacs are popular choices, albeit they both come with a steep learning curve. Nano or gedit are also a good choices and simpler.

Ah, thank you very much, I was looking for just such a thread, should’ve searched for raspberry. That’s a real shame though…
I’m mostly looking for a fast and smart text editor with basic highlights for coding so perhaps I’ll try Nano or Gedit.
