sometime we get trouble while installing sublime on Ubuntu machine.

Note- Uninstalled Sublime completely if you you have installed previously.

Here is steps to get installed on fresh Ubuntu machine-

step 1: open terminal

step 2: wget -qO - https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

step 3: echo "deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list

step 4: sudo apt-get update

step 5: sudo apt-get install sublime-text

I installed using these steps, hope will work for you!!!
