Hi,
I cannot install Package Control on my Sublime Text 3. I am using Lubuntu Linux.
I carried out the ‘manual’ instructions in this link: https://packagecontrol.io/installation .
But when I restart Sublime Text, it doesn’t install Package Control.
I am using Sublime Text 3.1.1 Build 3176.
please help!
Thanks,
Try the “Tools > Install Package Control” menu item instead.
If that doesn’t appear, please share your ST’s console output (View > Show Console) after a fresh start.
Here is a view of my console.
And there is no “Tools > Install Package Control” menu item
See this image:
It looks like Package Control was successfully installed on that screenshot. What made you think it didn’t work earlier? Have you tried installing a package with it?
I can’t find the option to do so, so I am presuming that it is not installed
Open the command palette (ctrl-shift-p) and type Package Control:. You should see a couple entries in that list, one of which is Package Control: Install Package. Selecting that with enter will prompt you with a list of packages to install.
Thanks, I did so and clicked on ‘babel’ and then the window just closed. I do not know if it has installed babel?
It probably did. You can usually see an indicator in the statusbar while Package Control is installing a package and it should also print some information on the console.
However, may I ask you what you are going to use babel for? If you’re looking for syntax highlighting with JSX, I suggest https://packagecontrol.io/packages/JSCustom instead. If you only need default JavaScript highlighting, you may use the default JavaScript syntax that Sublime Text ships with.
Check that you’re not you’re not behind a proxy.
I was having the same issue as well. I couldn’t install “Package Control”. I had to set my proxy for it to let me install it. After I set my proxy, I went back to “Tools” -> “Install Package Control”, I got a notification a couple seconds after saying it installed Package Control.
