How to put an alias in ubuntu?

Question

linux

Put sublime text 3, but in the terminal on sublime in all variations of the word nothing happens except "command not found".
How to register an alias to open the editor (including opening files through it)?
Found something similar but not the same:
alias sublime="sublime text 3"

Answer 1

I have Sublime (as well as several other programs) not in the system folder, but simply, for example, in ~/sublime.
There is a bin folder in the home directory. There I have a link to sublime_text.

[email protected] ~/bin $ readlink sublime
/home/deck/Sublime/sublime_text

In ~/.profile such lines

if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi

Answer 2

Alternatively, you can copy the binary file to the /usr/bin/ directory

Answer 3

The full path should be specified in the alias, if it was installed from the deb package, then the path is: /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text
