Sublime text3 behind proxy (Windows) No Package is working

#1

Hello Folks.

I am Using Windows 7 and working behind a strong proxy, so in can’t install the package manager. Give him the correct Password/Username/Proxy IP isn’t working too.
So i have so install the plugins manually, tried with BrackedHighlighter - ( working fine at home on my Mac (installed with package control without proxy)), but not on Windows here.

I have downloaded the file BracketHighlighter-BH2ST3.zip, unzipped it and copied it to the Package folder on c:\Users\xxusernamexx\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Package.
This is the way it should be?

But if i restart Sublime text 3, there’s no Brackethighlighting.
Tried to rename the unzipped Folder to “BracketHighlighter” is not working too…so i have tested with many plugins - no one is working.

What can i do?

EDIT: Using ST3 Build 3059
Can’t Use Github because of the Proxy

If you really have no way to get ST connecting to remote package manager repos, I’d suggest you to use the portable version, with that you can easily install both package manager and all the packages you need once you’re home, then use it at work…
This is the easiest way that came to my mind… (I used portable version at work too, same proxy/firewall problems…)

hope it helps

Hi you, thanks you for your fast reply: Good Idea!

I have really no chance to connect through the ports here !

But at home i don’t have windows… ok, but that’s not really a problem, will go to friends.

Ok, now i have done some tricks to avoid the Proxy and have successfully installed all my favorite plugins.

But there is one Problem: Lovely Brackethighlighter isn’t working, there are only underlined brackets… is this because of the ST3 Version?

Never used BH package,
you should check at its readme to see if there are some configurations to setup (show in gutter, highlight options etc) in the package itself like some other packages have (for example colorhighlighter or sublimelinter)…

Use Package Control to install BH. When people try to install manually, they often unpack the folder with the wrong name etc. Plus Package Control will ensure you always get updated the latest version.
