SECURITY NOTICE: The Python code used by this method does not use SSL because Sublime Text on Linux does not have the ssl module. Additionally, for Windows and OS X it is not possible for a simple snippet of code like this to validate the SSL certificate for sublime.wbond.net
The simplest method of installation is through the Sublime Text console. The console is accessed via the ctrl+` shortcut or the menu. Once open, paste the appropriate Python code for your version of Sublime Text into the console.
Sublime text 3
import urllib.request,os; pf = 'Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path(); urllib.request.install_opener( urllib.request.build_opener( urllib.request.ProxyHandler()) ); open(os.path.join(ipp, pf), 'wb').write(urllib.request.urlopen( 'http://sublime.wbond.net/' + pf.replace(' ','%20')).read())
Sublime text 2
import urllib2,os; pf='Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path(); os.makedirs( ipp ) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.install_opener( urllib2.build_opener( 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')
This code creates the Installed Packages folder for you (if necessary), and then downloads the Package Control.sublime-package into it.
Note:
If for some reason the console installation instructions do not work for you (such as having a proxy on your network), perform the following steps to manually install Package Control:
- Click the menu
- Browse up a folder and then into the Installed Packages/ folder
- Download Package Control.sublime-package and copy it into the Installed Packages/ directory
- Restart Sublime Text
