What does this awesome package manager for you? It basically makes package installations a breeze
We can use Sublime’s command palette by accessing the Tools menu, or by pressing Shift + Command + P, on the Mac or Ctrl + Shift + P for Linux and Windows Users. Whether you need to visit a Preferences page, or paste in a snippet, all of that can be accomplished here. It also opens up a list of commands available to the user. Any library that you install will immediately add new commands here.
To install plugins use the following process:
SUPER + SHIFT + P (SUPER = CMD on mac or CTRL on other operating systems) In the dialogue that pops up, type pi followed by the Enter/Return key to select Package Control: Install Package Now type the package install shortcut listed and hit the Enter/Return key again
So click Ctrl + Shift + P, and Type in install, which fuzzy searching enables the closest option Package Control : Install Package.
Now through this you can directly install the libraries you need just by searching for what you need.
