When I follow the instructions on https://urtext.co/setup/sublime-text/ (did it several times with a clean slate each time) there is always only "Urtext" available for package install, never "UrtextSublime".

This is on Linux with Sublime 4 (and 2, didn't try v3).

Thank you for the feedback, very helpful. We are trying to solve this to make something close to a single-step install. The package at https://packagecontrol.io/search/urtext is now an installer only. See the readme at https://github.com/nbeversl/urtext_sublime_installer for information. It installs another package control channel and pulls the latest from there. Obviously this is not ideal, but it is the best we can do at the moment, unless you want to use Git and do it manually. Glad to hear any problems you run into.

Thank you for the links.

I think I'm too dumb for this. I have only installed Sublime Text 4 because of Urtext, and I have no prior experience with the editor. At all.

It is unclear to me what I should do with the `sublime_urtext_installer.py` file, so I jumped to the “run these steps manually” steps instead. This seems to be exactly what I did before with no luck, and this time is no different. Having followed the steps, the last step always only offer me to install “Urtext”, not “UrtextSublime” and if I do that there will be zero entries with “Urtext“ in the command palette afterwards.

I will be happy to try the `sublime_urtext_installer.py` road, but I simply don't know what to do with that file.

Cheers.

If you have the patience to try again, we are eliminating any package control channel from the process, it is now a .ZIP file download. See if these steps are any more successful: https://urtext.co/setup/sublime-text/

My pattience is infinite. :)

See, _that_ solution was much better! Unzip, restart, command palette — and there it is! Thanks!
