Not installing Package Control from CLI

#1

I’m trying to install Package Control from the command line and instead of doing anything, it’s just opening a blank window. This is the command I’m using:

subl --command "install_package_control"

Was Sublime already running? subl will spawn it if it’s not already running, but it doesn’t wait for the plugin host to be ready to execute commands before it tries to execute it.

To execute commands from the command line you need to impose a delay to wait for state to stabilize first.
