Question:
Does Emmet and liveserver work on sublime text 4?
Context:
I am in love with the updates to sublime text, and I would like to switch from atom. The tools I rely on are Emmet and liveserver. They don’t seem to work for me. Is sublime text to new? Did I miss something?
Do you have Package Control installed? If not, do so by opening the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and search for “Install Package Control”. Press Return to confirm installation.
After installation is complete, search for “Package Control: Install Package” and select it. This will list all available packages. Search for “Emmet” and install it. Repeat the process for the package “LiveServer”.
Emmet is still available and is greatly improved (The previous version used to download & run some JS runtime IIRC to provide the features, but now it’s implemented in pure python).
I am not sure about live server, though. Never used it myself but many users have reported it not working properly.
Some how I missed package control, thanks @C0Nd3Mnd.
I got emmet working. Still working on LiveServer. Will post here if I get stumped.
Thanks everyone.
My Solution:
Through searching I stumbled upon the NPM package live-server. I set it aside, then tried livereload and liveserver. After neither worked for me. I tried the NPM package and it worked. Turns out it was easier to setup then the packages, and it more helpful since it’s not attached to the editor.
Live Server NPM package I chose.
