Sublime package control for Windows

Sublime is a popular editor. As many people already noticed that the following link provides a good introduction and tutorial for the power of Sublime. Because the instructor is using Sublime in MacOSX, therefore the video screen casting is more MacOSX user intuitive. Especially for package control for Windows users, which is the fundamental part for episodes after 2.9.

As we noticed the most popular package control for Sublime is: wbond (https://packagecontrol.io/installation), with the instruction for manual installation as below:

  1. Click the Preferences > Browse Packages… menu
  2. Browse up a folder and then into the Installed Packages/ folder
  3. Download Package Control.sublime-package and copy it into the Installed Packages/ directory
  4. Restart Sublime Text

But I found the step 2 and step 3 is actually not accurate for Windows.

  • For step 2 we could just ignore, in Windows, the folder you opened from step 1 is where you would like to put your package control in.
  • For step 3, after we download, you would like to release the zip file into a folder called "Package control" and copy that folder into step 1 opened location
