I am a Mac-newbie (Mountain Lion) and try to set up the "subl"-command for the terminal, like described here:

The first task is to make a symlink to subl. Assuming you've placed Sublime Text 2 in the Applications folder, and that you have a ~/bin directory in your path, you can run:

ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/bin/subl

But it doesn't work. I have now a folder /bin/ under my user and this folder including a alias. But when I tip in subl --help inside the terminal, I get the error -bash: subl: command not found

Can someone helps me out?

KR & thx, Fabian

Change directories to:

/usr/local/bin

then run this instead:

ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" subl
