Sublime Text Seed

Automated installation + configuration of Sublime Text in OSX, Linux, and Windows.

The setup script loads a 'seed' configuration. Meaning, it provides a quick/easy path for new and existing Sublime Text users to quickly get up and running.

This package:

1. Installs Sublime Text 3
2. Installs Package Control
3. ./themes -> Loads Themes
4. ./user-settings -> Loads Configuration files
5. ./license -> Loads License

The setup script works transparently across all platforms by leveraging python as well as OS-specific package managers.

Usage

Run the following to install and config Sublime Text

./setup.py

Restart the editor when prompted to do so. To view the package installation progress open the Sublime Text console.

Note: This WILL overwrite the existing configuration but it will prompt before replacing the license.

Configuration

A default configuration is included with this package. Feel free to fork the project and add your own custom configuration.
