How to install plugins in Sublime Text

Sublime is one of the popular text editor. Recent version is Sublime 3. I really love this text editor very much, may be Sublime has all popular features. I was using notepad++ which is the most used text editor. Don’t be late just download the latest version of Sublime Text from here. Now it is Sublime 3 Beta. Its beta but good enough to use. Its cross Platform and don’t need to get pain if you are linux or MAC user.

for ubuntu and ubuntu debian destro users, install it from PPA by entering these commands on terminal,

user@pcname:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2
user@pcname:~$ sudo apt-get update
user@pcname:~$ sudo apt-get install sublime-text

So this is your sublime text 3 window.

Now go here to get the installing code of sublime package control. You will see two box with the installation code. Copy the code which match with your version. Also I mentioned the code and you can copy from below.

Sublime Package Control for 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 Package Control for 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')

Copy the code, go View > Show Console (Ctrl+`), paste the code in the box appeared below and press enter. A small process will start, wait until finish it.
