How to install a great package without package management?

How can I install the sublimetext3 package manually without package management. I am trying to fix a bug in an existing package, so I need a way to check my changes.

What are the naming conventions that should be followed when naming a zip file? Where to place it? What other configurations do I need?

Download the ZIP, and then put it in the Packages directory, which can be found by doing Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Browse Packages...

It really depends on the specific package that you are downloading. For some packages, you can name whatever you want. For others, the name must be exact. If you download these packages manually from GitHub, I highly recommend that you read the documentation in README. They usually provide instructions for manual installation. For example, if you want to manually download the Spacegray theme, it will tell you to download the ZIP, unzip the folder and rename it to Theme - Spacegray .

Depending on your OS, the package directory may be one of them, and for most packages, just extract the contents to this folder (with its root folder as the name)

Linux: ~ / .config / sublime-text-3 / Packages

OS X: ~ / Library / Application Support / Subime 3 Text / Packages

Windows: % APPDATA% \ Sublime Text 3

I was in the same situation. The accepted answer did not work for me, because Package Control will automatically delete the folder. I found this useful:

Sublime Text 3 offers most package override options. From default, packages will be installed by placing the .sublime-package file in the Install Packages/ folder. Then users can redefine individual files in a package by creating the Packages/{Package Name}/ folder and placing editable files there.
