No Package Control after updating to Sublime Text 4?

[bitsper2nd]

My thoughts are that you aren’t doing yourself any favors with that word salad. If you want help, be more clear and concise.

Now, in my command palette I have Preferences: Package Control Settings, and that’s it. I can’t neither open or install it. What do I do?

ST version 3 politely includes Install Packaage Control in the Sublime Text menu.

ST version 4 politely include Install Packaage Control in the Tools menu.

Or we can cryptically leaves it to users to somehow find the above mentioned command and manually run that commmand to “install” package control in (lol) half-awake Package Control.

https://packagecontrol.io/installation
For mac, press keys command-shift-p, then type install package control which highlights “Install Package Control”. Press Return to install package control.

[mark.stewart]

So, excited as I was, I installed Sublime Text 4 on a machine that some time ago had Sublime Text 3 installed, and… I just can’t wrap my head around how I’m to install Package Control.

Your misssion, should you aaccept it, is to find another ST install method. Try this post….

Menu !! Tools > Install Package Control

I’m not sure if I missed something above but did this get solved?
I’ve been using version 4 for sometime and everything seemed to setup fine at the time. I updated to 4152 recently and didn’t think about it, until just a few days ago when I thought about further customizing my install and noticed that Package Control was missing.
I’ve gone through the diagnostic stuff mentioned above but still have no PC. Bad part is that I uninstalled ST from my system and deleted the application preferences from my Mac. Now I’m unable to install my preferred syntax highlighting and other preferred packages.

Is there a link for the fix to this issue?

[bschaaf]

Do you see any errors in the console (View > Show Console)?

[jfcherng]

Most likely because Mac updates its openssl to v3 which breaks Package Control. In that case, manually using a beta version of Package Control v4 fixes it. https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/6037#issuecomment-1674337039

There has to be a better approach, if Mac is doing this then SBT needs to do X.

[ripul]

Package control is missing in sublime text 4. There is no “install package” thing. https://prnt.sc/tY-1_CkOOHIk and it is also not in ignored list.

None of the above solutions has worked for me,

[aborel]

I’ve got my Package Control back after installing the latest 4.0 beta manually from Github: https://github.com/wbond/package_control/releases

There was just one trick: before copying Package Control.sublime-package into ST’s package folder, I had to rename the downloaded file because for some reason an extra period was inserted between the 1st two words (=> Package.Control.sublime-package)

[deathaxe]

Github doesn’t allow spaces in download artefacts, unfortunatelly.

hi
i first installed package control, then the “install …” gone.
not in ignored list as well, and now

@nullqube Hey,
Have you solved this issue?

I got the same errors

[deathaxe]

I’d recomment installing Package Control 4.0 beta.

Also see the pinned topic about it: SublimeText 4 Install Package not showing the menu

[Lrrr]

This also helped me (MacOS, Sublime 4, Package Control didn’t work with a bunch of errors in the console)

[bryce_wayne]

This was what I needed to fix my error. Dec2023
