I recently installed sublime text on a new ubuntu machine.
During start up I get the following error message :
Your system's locale is set to a value that can not handle non-ASCII
characters. Package Control can not properly work unless this is
fixed.On Linux, please reference your distribution's docs for information on
properly setting the LANG environmental variable. As a temporary
work-around, you can launch Sublime Text from the terminal with:LANG=en_US.UTF-8 sublime_text
I checked for the following in the terminal (zsh shell) echo $LANG
but this does not return anything i added the following two lines to the ~/.profile
and restarted the terminal, but this did not help as echo $LANG
did not return anything ?
How can I set my LANG
env variable in zsh shell ?
