Add the ppa and install as follows:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text

First, you should be installing Sublime Text 3, not ST2, as it is much more up-to-date with many bug fixes and added features. On the page I linked, select either Ubuntu 64-bit or 32-bit, depending on your system, and save the .deb file to your ~/Downloads directory. Next, run the following commands, where XXXX is the build number:

cd ~/Downloads
sudo dpkg -i sublime-text_build-XXXX_amd64.deb 
# for 64-bit
# or
sudo dpkg -i sublime-text_build-XXXX_i386.deb 
# for 32-bit

This will install ST3 in /opt/sublime_text, put the subl command in /usr/bin/subl, and set up icons properly. You can then follow my answer here on making Sublime the default text editor.
