Sublime 3 error installing package control

Question

I am trying to install package control in Sublime Text editor 3 on Ubuntu 14.04 . I follow simple instruction from https://sublime.wbond.net/installation.

But I get follow error:

Package Control: Error downloading channel. b'curl: (7) Failed to connect to sublime.wbond.net port 443: Network is unreachable' downloading https://sublime.wbond.net/channel.json.
error: Package Control

Solution 1

Go back to the installation page and follow the instructions in the Manual section:

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

This should install Package Control for you without any problems.

EDIT

Please read through this issue here, and follow wbond's instructions to install from git. First, completely quit Sublime, then remove all traces of Package Control - any folders in ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages, any files in ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Installed Packages, the folder ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User/Package Control.cache, and any files in ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User that start with Package Control.* - Package Control.last-run, Package Control.sublime-settings, Package Control.system-ca-bundle, and anything else you can find.

Next, assuming you have git installed (run sudo apt-get install git if you don't), switch to ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages and run

git clone https://github.com/wbond/package_control.git "Package Control"

to clone the master repo (make sure you've completely quit Sublime before running this). Restart Sublime and see if everything installs properly. If not, follow the instructions for creating a debug log, restart Sublime to generate the log, open the Console by selecting View -> Show Console, then copy the entire contents (it'll be a lot) into a new file. Open a new issue and describe exactly what the problem is, including all the details above and the fact that you just installed from the master branch, and paste in the contents of the debug log (make sure you put it in a code block by adding triple backticks ``` before and after). Will Bond (wbond) should get in touch with some suggestions.

Good luck!

Note for users of other operating systems: I'm not sure if this is a Linux-only problem or not, but in case it isn't, Mac users will find Packages and Installed Packages in ~/Library/Application Settings/Sublime Text 3, while Windows users with standard (i.e., non-portable installs) will find them in your user directory under AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3. For Windows portable installs, the directories should be in your install directory under Data.

Solution 2

For the sublime text version 3126 onward Package Control is disabled by default. Just go to Preferences > Settings and remove Package Control from the ignored_packages setting.
