E: Unable to locate package sublime-text 20.04

Question

I am unable to install the sublime text on my Ubuntu machin 20.04, i followed the below commands, still not works for me. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sublime-text OR sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3 sudo apt-get update. sudo apt-get install sublime-text-3

Does this answer your question? What can I do if a repository/PPA does not have a Release file? — guiverc, Mar 13 '23 at 11:52
PPA's or Personal Package Archive rely on you performing all security checks, if you look at https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/sublime-text-3 it's pretty easy to detect no support for releases as new as 20.04 are given, given the PPA is no longer maintained. Did you check? — guiverc, Mar 13 '23 at 11:53

You have two options to install sublime-text.

Option 1:

Follow the instructions on the official website:

wget -qO - https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-pub.gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/sublimehq-archive.gpg > /dev/null
echo "deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text

Option 2:

snap install sublime-text

Option 1 eventually worked for me, but only on the third try. No idea why it took 3 tries -- I did everything the same each time. — John, Dec 17 '23 at 22:00
