how to install sublime text indent xml in sublime 3

Question

I am trying to install https://github.com/alek-sys/sublimetext_indentxml in sublime text 3. I read

In Sublime Text 3 - clone project from Github into Packages folder.

Doesn't seem to work.

I am not sure where the Packages folder is.

Solution 1

None of the above answers worked for me as they appeared to be missing a crucial 'step' to the process (step 2 below). This is how I got it to install for me in Windows using Sublime Text 3:

1. Install Package Control (Tools > Install Package Control...)
2. Open Package Control (Ctrl+Shift+P) and type 'Package Control: Install Package' and then press Enter.
3. Sublime will attempt to load any custom repositories then offer a list of packages available.
4. At this point, I was able to successfully search for 'indent xml' and have it appear in the list and install by pressing Enter with it selected.

Solution 2

The most error free way, is to

1. Install the Package Control First
2. Ctl + shift + P then type Install Package and press Enter
3. Type Indent XML and press Enter

To Use:

1. Open the XML file that you need to reformat
2. Ctl + shift + P then type Indent XML
3. Press Enter

Your Document will then update.

For information how to install the package control please see:

And

Solution 3

If you are using Mac, go to the menu as follows:

Sublime Text --> Preferences --> Package Control --> Install Package

When the list box opens, type indent xml ( or a different package indentx ).

Once the package is installed, Command+Shift+P

Then choose indent xml to automatically format your file.

Solution 4

The location is system dependent, but are located at:

• OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/
• Windows: %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 3/Packages/
• Linux: ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/

Solution 5

Try this (for Windows only):

Open Sublime Text 3

Ctrl+Shift+P

Type: Package Control: Install Package

Then lastly type: indent XML

after installing the package open an XML file then press Ctrl+K next press Ctrl+F or you can go to Selection->Format->Auto Indent.

I've done everything in the directions you referenced, closed the app and relaunched. Once I've got it "installed", how do I get the XML to indent?

[Alegrowin]

@Adrian Package Control is a GUI package manager, once install go in Sublime Text 3 and click on the preference Tab, then click on Package Control, install package, after type indentXml

step 2 doesn't find anything like indent xml

[jenovachild]

@cja I'm having the same issue. Nothing comes up when I type 'indent' or 'indent xml' or 'indentXml'

[Junchen Liu]

both of you what operating systems do youo use? i haven't got a mac or linux only tested on windows

[Dimitri Kopriwa]

There is nothing in package control that is called indent xml

[ScottM]

Mine only listed it until I installed it. You could try Package Control > List Packages, and see if it is already installed.

Format -> auto indent saved me

[Håkon Seljåsen]

It is called IndentX and works as @1247p describes bellow.

Dimitri, I think you missed to do #2 like me. These steps work

[vosicz]

Indent XML can not be found until you choose Install Package first

[Shrirang]

indent xml is already added in sublime text 3. no need to add. select all xml code, press (Ctrl+Shift+P), type indent xml and hit enter

[DATALOT]

@Shrirang Nothing appears typing "indent xml"
