Trouble installing Sublime command line tools

Question

I followed the advice of this blog post and it didn't work. Below is my output. What can I do to fix this?

~/code/rails/adam $ echo "export PATH=~/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.profile ~/code/rails/adam $ ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/bin/subl ln: /Users/adamzerner/bin/subl: No such file or directory

New output:

~/code/rails/adam $ mkdir ~/bin ~/code/rails/adam $ ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/bin/subl ~/code/rails/adam $ subl -bash: subl: command not found ~/code/rails/adam $ subl --help -bash: subl: command not found ~/code/rails/adam $

You need to have a ~/bin directory before you can create a symlink in it. Run

mkdir ~/bin

then

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

and you should be all set.

Does it matter which folder I'm in when I run these commands?

No, ~ represents your home folder, so the path are absolute.

@AdamZerner try restarting Terminal.
