The "Manual Download" section is for Sublime Text 2 only. At the very top of README, you are associated with ST3 instructions :
The development branch contains rewriting of the ColdFusion plugin. The only installation method is through Git.
cd Packages/ git clone https://github.com/SublimeText/ColdFusion.git cd ColdFusion git checkout development
On Windows computers, the Packages folder is located in %APPDATA%\Sublime Text 3\Packages . You will need a working copy of git on your computer, which can be obtained here .
Alternatively, you can download the zip file to the development branch , extract it, rename the resulting ColdFusion-development folder to ColdFusion , then copy it to the Packages folder.
EDIT
I dug a little, and apparently this package is no longer being developed. However, the CFML package was proposed as a replacement. Not being a ColdFusion user, I have not tested it myself, but reviews from others are good. It is only available for ST3, but can be installed directly through the Control Package, so you don’t have to worry about using Git.
