In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Sublime Text on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, Sublime Text Editor is a cross-platform, lightweight text editor for code, markup, and prose that automates repetitive tasks so you can focus on the important stuff. Users can expand its functionality with plugins, typically community-built and maintained under free-software licenses. Sublime is known for its speed, ease of use, cross-platform, and community contribution.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the Sublime Text on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: AlmaLinux 9.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.
