Sublime Text 3: Package Control
If you have recently installed Sublime Text on your computer and are wondering how to set up your developer environment in order to start knocking out some awesome websites quickly like the pros a good idea might be to download Sublime Text Package Control. Package Control is a simple method of installing packages in Sublime Text. In other words, it helps you customize Sublime just the way you want it.
Colour schemes
Install code snippets
Just type “html5” and hit the [tab] key and get all this:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <title></title> <link rel="stylesheet" href=""> </head> <body> </body> </html>Sublime text extensions
Add a color picker so you wont need to remember that #ffffff is white #00000 is black or #00BEFD is the best blue in the world.
How to install
So here’s how to get it. Go to here select the version of Sublime Text you use from the gray tabbed area (in my case, at the time of this post, Sublime Text 2), and copy and paste the code into Sublime Text control panel as explained on the page.
import urllib2,os; pf=’Package Control.sublime-package’; ipp = sublime.installedpackagespath(); os.makedirs( ipp ) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.installopener( urllib2.buildopener( urllib2.ProxyHandler( ))); open( os.path.join( ipp, pf), ‘wb’ ).write( urllib2.urlopen( ‘http://sublime.wbond.net/' +pf.replace( ‘ ‘,’%20' )).read()); print( ‘Please restart Sublime Text to finish installation’)
When that’s done you should be prompted to restart Sublime Text. Do so by simply closing it and re-opening it. Type ctrl + shift + p and search for package control: installpackage when you find it hit enter. Search for the package you wish to download and press enter to install. It’s as simple as that. More information on each package found on Sublime Text Package Control can be found on their website.
