Sublime CP (Portable) — Linux

A portable, self-contained Sublime Text setup tailored for competitive programming on Linux. No root, no system install, no messing with your $HOME. Unpack, run, code, submit.

Works entirely in “portable mode”: all settings, packages, and caches live inside this folder (the Data/ directory). citeturn1search6turn1search8

📦 What’s inside

Sublime_CP_Portable_Linux_Portable/
├─ sublime_text                # The Sublime Text binary (portable)
├─ sublime_text.desktop        # Optional desktop entry for launchers
├─ Data/                       # User data: settings, keymaps, snippets, caches
├─ Packages/                   # Prebundled packages (if any)
├─ IO/                         # Handy I/O files for CP (e.g., input.txt, output.txt)
├─ Icon/                       # App icon(s) for desktop integration
├─ Lib/                        # Support libraries (if provided)
├─ libssl.so.1.1               # Bundled OpenSSL (legacy)  (if present)
├─ libcrypto.so.1.1            # Bundled OpenSSL (legacy)  (if present)
├─ libsqlite3.so               # Bundled SQLite            (if present)
├─ plugin_host-3.3 / -3.8      # Sublime plugin hosts      (if present)
├─ crash_handler               # Sublime crash handler      (if present)

🚀 Quick start (no install)

  1. Download / clone this folder to any writable location (USB, external drive, or your home directory).
  2. Make the binary executable (if needed): 
    chmod +x ./sublime_text
  3. Run it: 
    ./sublime_text
    That’s it—Sublime will run in portable mode because the Data/ directory is present. citeturn1search6turn1search8

Optional: add to your desktop launcher

  • Copy the desktop file (adjust Exec= and Icon= paths to your absolute repo path): 
    xdg-mime default sublime_text.desktop text/plain
  • Or place sublime_text.desktop into ~/.local/share/applications/ and run: 
    update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications

For Linux users, Sublime Text is also offered as archives (which are inherently portable) and via package managers; this repo simply ships a ready-to-run portable bundle. citeturn1search3turn1search10

🧪 Competitive programming workflow (C++)

This setup includes an IO/ folder to make local testing easy. Use a build system that compiles the current file and runs it with IO/input.txt → IO/output.txt.

Create a build system: Tools → Build System → New Build System…, paste:

{
  "shell_cmd": "g++ -std=c++17 -O2 -pipe -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc "$file" -o "$file_path/run" && "$file_path/run" < "${project_path:${folder}}/IO/input.txt" > "${project_path:${folder}}/IO/output.txt"",
  "working_dir": "$file_path",
  "selector": "source.c++, source.cpp, source.cxx",
  "variants": [
    {
      "name": "Run (stdin/stdout)",
      "shell_cmd": "g++ -std=c++17 -O2 -pipe "$file" -o "$file_path/run" && "$file_path/run""
    },
    {
      "name": "Compile Only",
      "shell_cmd": "g++ -std=c++17 -O2 -pipe -Wall -Wextra "$file" -o "$file_path/run""
    }
  ]
}
  • Save it as C++17_CP.sublime-build.
  • Select it via Tools → Build System → C++17_CP.
  • Put your sample tests in IO/input.txt, build with Ctrl+B. Output lands in IO/output.txt.

Sublime’s build systems let you run external tools and pipe input/output, which is perfect for CP workflows on Linux. citeturn1search7turn1search9

🧰 Tips & tweaks

  • Compiler: Switch to clang++ by replacing g++ in the build JSON.
  • Multiple files: For multi-file solutions, swap the compile command to g++ *.cpp … or drive it via a simple Makefile and call make && ./run.
  • Fast I/O: Remember to ios::sync_with_stdio(false); cin.tie(nullptr);.
  • Snippets & keymaps: Add your templates in Data/Packages/User/ (this stays inside the repo—portable).
  • Package Control: If you add packages, they’ll be stored in Data/ and travel with this folder (portable).
  • Themes/UI: Drop custom themes into Packages/ or install via Package Control; again, it stays portable.

🖇️ Desktop integration (manual)

If your launcher doesn’t pick it up, edit sublime_text.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Sublime Text (Portable)
Exec=/absolute/path/to/Sublime_CP_Portable_Linux_Portable/sublime_text %F
Icon=/absolute/path/to/Sublime_CP_Portable_Linux_Portable/Icon/sublime-text.png
Type=Application
Categories=Development;TextEditor;
Terminal=false

Then place it in ~/.local/share/applications/ and update the database as shown above.

🔒 Notes on bundled libraries

This bundle may include libssl.so.1.1, libcrypto.so.1.1, and libsqlite3.so to improve portability on distros where these libraries are missing or newer/older than expected. If you experience runtime issues, prefer the system libraries by adjusting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or remove the bundled ones so the system provides them.

🐞 Troubleshooting

  • Won’t launch / permission denied
    Ensure chmod +x ./sublime_text and that the folder is on a filesystem that allows exec (not mounted with noexec).

  • Blank window on Wayland
    Try launching with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb ./sublime_text or run inside an X11 session.

  • Build runs but no output
    Confirm the path to IO/input.txt is correct for your project/folder and that your code reads from stdin.

  • Fonts look off
    Install preferred monospace fonts (sudo apt install fonts-firacode etc.) and select them in Preferences → Settings.
