Remove the outdated PPA

The webupd8 PPA has not been updated since 2018, and does not support Ubuntu 20.04.

Remove it with

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2

Install Sublime Text 4 from its official repository

The instructions for Installing sublime text can be found at its website.

First, install the GPG key:

wget -qO - | sudo apt-key add -

Then enable https sources in apt

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

For the stable version, enter the command

echo "deb apt/stable/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list

Update apt index and install Sublime Text

sudo apt update
sudo apt install sublime-text
