After installing sublime_text you will have an executable sublime_text. As root, copy this to somewhere in your executable path (ie /opt). You can also install it some where and add that somewhere to your executable path.
You should now be able to execute from the command line with: $ sublime_text But you want $ subl Two ways to do that. Create a new link or create an alias. Link: As root, in the directory that you installed the sublime_text executable, issue the command: # ln -s sublime_text subl if you do an ls -p you should now see a link created and you should be able to launch sublime text with the subl command. Alias: This is probably the preferred method if you are on a single user system. Install sublime_text as above so that the sublime_text command works. In your .bashrc or your .profile file, add the line: alias subl='sublime_text' Save the file. Now each time you execute a shell, you will be able to execute sublime_text by using just: $ subl Also you should now be able to open Gemfile if you are in the directory Gemfile is in and you issue the command: $ subl Gemfile This is general Unix knowledge and has nothing to do with sublime text or with Rails.
