Install Sublime Packages in other folders

[Reprobus]

How can I install a package else where besides Sublime Text2\Packages; so Sublime can read the package ?

Hi,

May depends on the reason why you want it to be elsewhere, I still would say: use symbolic links, if it’s available in your environment; it is on Linux and MacOS, don’t know for Windows (at least, was not with XP, may be it is with Seven).

The documentation says there are only two places where packages may be installed: in Installed Packages for ZIPed *.sublime-package or in Packages for packages as directories: Packages — Package Locations (docs.sublimetext.info). Unless you put a symbolic link there, it won’t work.

Using symbolic links is fine, I do this for two package I’m contributing to and another I’m developing (links point to the trunk directory of the working copy).
