How do I download Sublime text onto a chromebook?

#1

Hello! I saw something on web developing that recommended using google chrome as a web browser (thus i bought a chromebook) and it suggested using sublime text. I have activated linus on my chromebook, but i’m having problems with the actual installation of codes into linus. can someone help me, please? I admit this is a bit beyond my basic knowledge of computers.

Hi, I’ve used Sublime Text on a Chromebook. When you install Linux it should be debian Linux (at least if you’re using a amd / intel processor). The way I install Sublime Text is to go to downloads https://www.sublimetext.com/download, then find direct downloads for Linux repos. After that download the .deb file. Once downloaded you can right click and “Install with Linux”. I don’t know that this would work on an ARM chromebook but it works great on the ones I use (which are ~$200 cheapy Walmart ones). Sublime Text is light and really runs well in my experience.
