I want to use SFTP with st3 but the package installer won't install without git. I don't have git. Does anyone know how can I get package control working?



Install GIT. Otherwise stick to downloading repos manually as zip, unpacking them and moving them manually.


I am willing to do that but I can'f find any instructions to where to get the repo from and where to put it.


That was while Package Control 2.0 was in alpha. It is no longer in alpha and no longer requires using Git to install.


I run the code, and it downloads the Package Control.sublime-package file alright. But the sublime won't recognize package control even when I restart it. ctrl + shift + p won't give package install or any other command.


I recommend pasting the Sublime Text console output into a new issue at https://github.com/wbond/sublime_package_control/issues.


Found the problem, I tried installing it when it was alpha but didn't work out, so I reverted back to ST2. Now when I installed it again, it was suing the previous install folder. Once I deleted the install directory and the directory in user folder for windows and reinstalled from scratch, it worked. Not necessarily a bug so won't be reporting it. Thanks!


It's a requirement. Install it and be done with it.
