#1

I have installed Sublime_text_3 from the following link: http://www.ubuntoid.com/install-sublime-text-2-3-ubuntu-16-04/

Now in the terminal if i give subl nothing comes.

If i give locate sublime_text in terminal i get the installed path ie.,/var/cache/sublime-text/sublime_text_3_build_3126_x64.tar.bz2.

And in search icon if i give sublime_text i a get the icon. But if i try to launch it i am getting error as:

“Error trying to parse settings: Unexpected trailing characters in Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings:5:1”

Sublime-text has been installed in my system but unable to open/execute it.

How can i resolve this issue?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.

you should:

a) uninstall that version
b) install the latest version from an official repository
c) revert to a clean state
