Just installed and configured ST 3.3.2 with some simple settings, and also downloaded some themes from github. They are ayu-master, and sublime-boxy-theme-master. I found no documentation with packages how and where to install them. Info on this is much appreciated.
How to install themes?

I would recommend install Package Control and manage plugins from it unless you know what you are doing.

@jfcherng, Much thanks for your direction and my apologies for the late reply. Copied the two zipped theme packages to /home/ineuw/.config/sublime-text-3/Installed Packages, and unzipped them. But from here on, I am lost.

Package Control is a package manager, which can be used to install packages easily.
- Remove the
dependency-metadata.jsonand the manually placed packages from Installed Packages. - From within ST, open the Command Palette via
ctrl+shift+pand run Package Control: Install Package - After a short while it displays all available packages. Type “ayu” to find the AYU package, select it and hit enter. AYU gets installed for you automatically.
Installed Packages is meant for zipped packages (e.g.: <Name>.sublime-package).
If you want to “install” packages manually, the best way is to git clone a repo to:
~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages
Boxy Theme is quite outdated and no longer maintained. It’s successor DA UI was removed by the author.
You could try to install Theme - DAneo instead, which was created from the remaining sources of DA UI and still support all recent features of Sublime Text.
It can be configured/tweaked via various Preferences.
I’d also recommend installing PackageDev as it provides much helpers for editing sublime-settings, etc. files.
