I have copied Package Control.sublime-package in the directory ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Installed\ Packages/
as per instructions in
https://packagecontrol.io/installation#st2
However, after restarting Sublime, the file gets deleted!
None of the answers in Sublime Text 2 - Package Control installed but the list not shown helps to solve this problem.
Any idea what is going on here?

I have followed the instructions at this location:
https://packagecontrol.io/installation#st2
It doesn't matter if I copy and paste the code into the console, or manually place the download file into the Installed Packages/ directory, upon restarting Sublime Text 2, the file is deleted from the directory.
The exact same question is asked here, Sublime Text 2 Package Control installed but is deleted upon Restart
but there is not a solution for that question.
Sublime Text 2 version 2.0.2, Build 2221
Mac OS 10.6.8
I was used to the phpfmt plugin for Sublime Text, and I'm not able to install it on a fresh installation : the package controller does not seem to find it anymore.
While waiting for a fix, I tried to copy/paste phpfmt folder from Sublime Text's packages folder to my new laptop, but it doesn't seem to work : on the first launch, the plugin is recognized but its directory is deleted.
How can I manually install this plugin ?
As you can see on the Package Control page you linked, the package only supports Sublime Text 3. There's a post on Y Combinator explaining the original author has deleted his version of the package. There is a guide on how to downgrade the package, but I'm not sure that includes Sublime Text 2.
I'm running Sublime Text 2 with package control installed, as well as a few syntax plugins. But
for no reason at all, whenever I open a rspec file, sublime text gives me this error:
Error loading syntax file "Packages/RSpec/RSpec.tmLanguage": Error parsing plist xml: Failed to open file In file "Packages/RSpec/RSpec.tmLanguage"
Worked fine yesterday. Googling the error didn't offer much help, so my question is, is there a quick way to reinstall all sublime text plugins using the package control?
Go to Preferences -> Browse Packages... and it will open up the Packages folder in your filesystem navigator (Explorer, Finder, Nautilus, etc.). Quite Sublime, then delete the RSpec folder. When you restart Sublime, Package Control should notice that the package is not present and will automatically reinstall it for you.
Alternatively, you can uninstall and then reinstall the package through Package Control. Open the Command Palette and type pcr to bring up Package Control: Remove Package. Hit Enter, type rspec, then hit enter again to remove it. Restart Sublime, bring up the Command Palette, type pci for Package Control: Install Package, find RSpec again, and you should be good to go.
I'm writing a post-install script for my Ubuntu 12.04. The thing I need is to install PackageControl and all the other importent packages to Sublime Text 2 via just installed PackageControl from the shell. How can I do it? Give me some examples, please.
Thank you for your time!
You could try to write your own Code based on PackageControl to support Shell-Access, but that would overly complicate the Plugin-Installation-Process, since
Package-Installation in Sublime Text 2 is nothing more than putting files in its Packages-Directory.
I assume that you want to do this because you want to install Sublime Text on multiple PCs without the hassle of doing manual downloads from every PC.
Just create a fresh Sublime Text 2 Installation, install the Packages you need, and copy the Configuration-directory to each PC. The Configuration is in
~/.config/sublime-text-2
Copying this folder to every PC will copy the Plugins, too.
When I go to browse packages in Sublime Text 2, the packages folder is full of all the plugins I wanted like Zen coding and SidebarEnhancements. My installed packages folder only has package control in it though. Should other installed packages be located in here?
SidebarEnhancements, for example, does not work, even though it is in the packages folder. If I right click the sidebar I just get the "close" option. I've been trying to figure this out for weeks, and I figured I would just ask here and see if anyone could tell me what I need to do after I have the package in the packages folder, if anything.
With Package Control in Sublime Text 2, you really need to become cozy with a couple of different things to make it all work:
Always look up a package in the wbond community. There you'll be able to see how many people have installed that package (the more popular, the better) as well as the documentation on the package (if any).
Menu Items under Prefs > Package Control. Here you can install, remove or see a list of all installed packages.
Prefs > Package Settings. Here you'll find the settings that can be tinkered with as well as shortcut keys that are available. Make sure to make any changes in the User Settings, rather than the Default Settings. Otherwise, your settings will be overwritten when that package is updated.
CTRL+SHIFT+P. This will bring up a menu where you can look up a lot of the functions your installed packages can do. Just start typing and it will start filtering.
Here is a link to a shorter and to the point description:
http://www.granneman.com/webdev/editors/sublime-text/packages/how-to-install-and-use-package-control/
The steps are:
Install package control.
Go to http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control/installation and grab the install code.
In Sublime Text 2 open the console (Ctrl+`) and paste the code.
Restart Sublime Text 2.
Open command palette via Command+Shift+P (Mac OSX) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows).
Start typing Package Control and choose the package you are looking for.
Try using Sublime Package Control to install your packages.
Also take a look at these tips
The Installed Packages Directory You will find this directory in the
data directory. It contains a copy of every sublime-package installed.
Used to restore Packages
So, you shouldn't put any plugin to this folder.
For getting works of SidebarEnhancements plugin try to disable and reenable this plugin with using Package Control. If it doesn't work then try to remove folder "SidebarEnhancements" from "Packages" folder and install it again via Package Control.
You may try to install Package Control first by following simple instructions available at Installation Guide (which is like 1. Open the Console, 2. Paste the code).
Then please check Package Docs Control Usage for Basic Functionality:
Package Control is driven by the Command Pallete. To open the pallete,
press Ctrl+Shift+P (Win, Linux) or CMD+Shift+P (OS X). All Package
Control commands begin with Package Control:, so start by typing
Package.
The command pallete will now show a number of commands. Most users
will be interested in the following:
Install Package
Show a list of all available packages that are available for install.
This will include all of the packages from the default channel, plus
any from repositories you have added.
This recently worked for me. You just need to add to your packages, so that the package manager would be aware of the packages:
Add the Sublime Text 2 Repository to your Synaptic Package Manager:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2
Update
sudo apt-get update
Install Sublime Text:
sudo apt-get install sublime-text
Enabling a previously-installed Sublime Text package
If you have a subdirectory under Sublime Text 2\Packages for a package that isn't working, you may need to enable it.
Follow these steps to enable an installed package:
Preferences > Package Control > Enable Package
Select the package you want to enable from the list
