Installation

Package Control

The recommended way to install ExportHtml is via Package Control. Package Control will install the correct branch on your system and keep it up to date.

  1. Ensure Package Control is installed. Instructions are found here.

  2. In Sublime Text, press Ctrl＋Shift＋P (Win, Linux) or Cmd＋Shift＋P (macOS) to bring up the quick panel. It will show a list of installable plugins.

  3. Start typing ExportHtml; when you see it, select it.

  4. Restart to be sure everything is loaded proper.

  5. Enjoy!

Manual Installation

Warning

This is not the recommended way to install ExportHtml for the average user. Installing this way will not get automatically updated.

If you are forking for a pull request, you should just clone ExportHtml and run Package Control's Satisfy Dependency command to get all the dependencies.

For those who want to install ExportHtml without package control, here are the steps. It understood that some people for what ever reason will prefer manually and may even have legitimate reasons to do so. When going this route, you will have to keep all the packages updated yourself.

  1. Download the latest releases of the following dependencies and unpack or git clone in the Packages folder as shown below:

  2. Download and unpack or git clone the latest ExportHtml release and unpack as ExportHtml:

  3. Create a folder under Packages called 00-dependencies and under that folder create a file called 00-dependencies.py:

    Copy the following code to 00-dependencies.py (this code was taken from Package Control):

    import sys

Git Cloning

  1. Quit Sublime Text.

  2. Open a terminal and enter the following. For dependencies replace the URL with the appropriate URL, and the appropriate folder to check it out to:

    cd /path/to/Sublime Text 3/Packages
git clone https://github.com/facelessuser/ExportHtml.git ExportHtml

  3. Restart Sublime Text.
