SOLVED - Debian apt-get download process failed - Sublime not released yet for Raspberry Pi

#1

After completely following the procedure to install the stable version of Sublime on Debian using apt-get
using the instructions on:
http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/linux_repositories.html

  • downloaded rsa4096 apt-key
  • installed apt-transport-https
  • added the text into sublime-text.list
  • the attempt to install the stable version of Sublime failed with the following error:
    E: Unable to locate package sublime-text

What is the correct download link for the Sublime Debian repository?

Did you run apt update before trying to install?

Yes, I did. The apt-cache was searched without finding it there either. It is not in that respository. The entire series of commands and results are below. The dash ( - ) was replaced with the underscore ( _ ) in case there might have been a mistyped character.

Were you successful in your attempt? Did I miss anything?

The links in the command responses below had to be ā€˜damaged’ by removing the colons ( : ) since a new user is only able to embed 2 links in their posts.

Looks like you’re using a raspberry pi. Sublime Text does not have an ARM port - though there is a beta being run for licensed users.

You are correct about me trying to install Sublime on a Raspberry Pi. I purchased a license in June that is registered to the email address associated with this forum user.

Do you have a date when Sublime may be released for the RPi?

I appreciate your quick replies. Thank you.

There’s no release date for the arm port, but given you have a license I suggest you check out the Sublime Text 4 beta available through our discord server.
