I used the PPA repository, and followed the instructions exactly to install sublime text. However, when I try to open it from Applications, I get a "This build of Sublime Text 2 has expired" message.

I tried removing it and reinstalling, but it didn't change anything. I also tried manually downloading the files from the sublimetext website, but I have no idea how to actually open the program or install it; it's just a bunch of files and python scripts in a sublime_text_2 directory.

I'm sure a lot of this has to do with me being an ubuntu noob, but I can't find any posts of people having trouble with the PPA install. Any help is greatly appreciated.

First off, I'd highly recommend using Sublime Text 3, as it is just as stable as ST2, and includes a number of new features. Additionally, more and more plugins from Package Control (install it as soon as you have ST up and running) only work with ST3. Also, why are you still running Ubuntu 11.10? You really should upgrade - 14.04 is the current LTS version, 14.10 is the current working version, and 15.04 will be out next month.

To install, download the .deb file for your version of Ubuntu (32- or 64-bit) from the link above. In Terminal, change to your Downloads directory and run

sudo dpkg -i sublime-text_build-3065_XXX.deb

where XXX is i386 for 32-bit, or amd64 for 64-bit. Enter your password, and it should install automatically. To run it, open the applications search function and start typing Sublime Text and it should show up.
