When installing packages in Sublime Text 3, is there anyway I can tick all the ones I want from a list, and then install them in one go? Or do I have to click Preferences > Package Control > Install Package, for every single package I'd like to install? Notepad++ for instance has a nice list with checkboxes...
Just use Preferences > Package Control > Package Control: Advanced Install Package.
Then you can enter a comma-separated package list, e.g. ConvertToUTF8,MarkdownEditing,SublimeLinter,SublimeREPL.
Also, note that you could just press cmdshiftp (on OS X) or ctrlshiftp (on Windows) and type the command name (Package Control: Advanced Install Package) or even part of it, like pcaip. This will be much faster than clicking menu entries.

To batch install other packages, a Package Control.sublime-settings file needs to be placed into the Packages/User/ folder.
Inside of the settings file should be a JSON object (Package Control.sublime-settings) with the key "installed_packages" that references a list of package names. When Package Control starts, if any of those packages are not present, the will be automatically downloaded and installed. Here is an complete example:
{
"installed_packages":
[
"ApacheConf.tmLanguage",
"Package Control",
"SublimeLinter"
]
}
After adding the packages you want to on Package Control.sublime-settings, just restart Sublime Text and the Package Control will start installing those packages.

I am using MikTex 2.9 and Texmaker. I need to download packages, such as the sespace package, manually from https://ctan.org/. I have done that and placed the resulting folder in: C:\Users\User1\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX 2.9\tex\latex
Other previously installed packages are in that location and are recognised by MikTex as present.
The setspace folder contains setspace.sty and two test files. However when I compile in Texmaker it doesn't recognise that the package is present, and wants to download it.
Does the .sty file need to go somewhere specific, and how do I find out where that might be, please?
All of the below on Windows 7 Machines and regarding Notepad++ installation / uninstallation:
Uninstaller
When I try to uninstall using the command
if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\uninstall.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\uninstall.exe" /S
there are some files left in the Notepad++ file afterward. Notepad++'s uninstaller, when run manually, prompts halfway through the uninstall asking "Do you want to keep your custom settings" and I'm thinking that the command may be choosing to answer this "Yes" by default. I'm wondering if there's an easy way to have it choose "No" here instead. If not, I can probably just delete the folder.
Installer
I'm running the installation using the 32 bit default .exe file from Notepad++ in a deployment package compiled in Lansweeper. What I'm noticing is that presently, the package executed the CMD uninstall command, but stops short of installing the new version. For reference, I've been using an installed 7.3.2 and the installer for 7.3.3 to test, so that it should uninstall the 7.3.2 and install 7.3.3 by the end of the package.
I'm wondering if the fact that there are a number of options in the Notepad++ installer could be the culprit here. If it is better to install via command line or to include some sort of configuration file I'm fine with either option, just not especially well-versed in doing them.
Notepad++ Installer requests the following during installation:
Select a language - should choose English
Choose Components - want to be able to customize selection of localization / auto complete / themes / context menu / plugins / auto update according to our requirements
Choose Components - Don't use Appdata, Allow Plugins to be loaded from Appdata, and Create Shortcut on Desktop should all remain unchecked
Run Notepad ++ - should be unchecked (checked by default)
All the other components that I can see are straightforward Next / I Agree buttons.
I'm hoping someone may be able to make helpful suggestions here as I've not had any experience with configuring silent installs with specific parameters. Notepad++ doesn't seem to have its own MSI and I won't use a third party one so some sort of batch or configuration file or flagging options in cmd if possible are the preferable options.
Please let me know if there's any additional information I can provide that may be helpful.
Thank you in advance.
If you just need to update to the latest version. It is quite simple. Run the newest installer again and it will automatically update older versions.

Silent Install Notepad++
I'm using the command:
start /wait npp.7.2.Installer.x64.exe /S
Didn't show any interface during silent installation.
Notepad kicks a secondary process that doesn't finish until success is evaluated.
try:

I'm currently in the process of setting up my workspace on my company machine and have chosen Atom as my text editor of choice. The computer is not connected to the internet, so I will have to "manually" install packages. I've been having difficulties installing packages via usb transfer. I've copied and extracted packages to my ~/.atom/packages
The package I'm attempting to use (atom-beautify) shows up on the packages tab on the top of the editor. It also shows up under [Settings] -> [Packages].
When attempting to use the beautify I get the error message "Failed to activate the atom-beautify package" ... Cannot find module 'event-kit'
Also using Windows 10. Any help is greatly appreciated!
You can solve your problem. There are some way to solve your problem.I did not used win10, I am on win7.Yet you can try.
Paste atom-beautify to C:\Users\User.atom\packages and change pacakage.json
atom-beautify needs a dependency named bluebird, if you can try to add this to atom.
It step 1 or step 2 failed then goes to step 2,
Connecting your pc to internet run this command from your terminal: apm install atom-beautify
Source: https://github.com/Glavin001/atom-beautify/issues/879#issuecomment-218753674
Safest bet with installing atom packages offline is to install it on another online PC and then copy all contents from your packages location to offline PC.
We create an installation .exe with burn that successfully installs .NET4 as a prerequisite and our .msi which was created with a wix script. All this works quite well.
Our wix script creates an uninstall shortcut (pretty much taken from the wix how-to pages):
<Shortcut Id="UninstallProduct"
Name="Uninstall Product Name"
Target="[SystemFolder]msiexec.exe"
Arguments="/x [ProductCode]"
Description="Uninstalls Product" />
If I use this shortcut, the application is correctly uninstalled and all relevant files are removed. However, the entry in the installed programs table in "Programs and Feature" is still there. I also notice that it is not the burn UI that comes up if I use the uninstall shortcut. Basically, my question is: How can I create an uninstall shortcut that removes the entry in the Programs and Features table when using burn?
I know there's a lot of information on here about installing python packages, but I'm quite new to python and I think I need a more "for dummies" level of help.
I was trying to install openpyxl for which as far as I can tell I need easy_install, for which, as far as I can tell, I need setuptools. I tried running the code provided here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools which is supposed to download and install setuptools (and according to some sites, easy_install aswell?) - it runs successfully, but help(modules) doesn't show setuptools or easy_install as modules, I have no idea whats installed and what isn't, or how I'm supposed to install any of it!
Essentially I'm very confused, very frustrated and really need someone to talk me through (in idiot-speak) what I'm supposed to do.
Thankyou!
We all start somewhere, I was there two weeks ago.
I'll assume you're using Python2. I believe Distribute and Pip are recommended for Python3 (which I will be using as examples). I will also assume you are on Windows.
First, python needs to be registered to Path. To check if this has been done automatically, open a command prompt (start -> programs -> accessories), and type 'python', then enter. If it returns the version number, etc, skip down a bit. If it throws an error, you need to add Python to Path.
Adding Python to Path
To add Python to Path on a Windows computer, go to:
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Settings -> Environment Settings -> System Variables
Scroll down to select path, then click edit. Copy the entire line to a text document, and add your install directory for Python.exe (and the scripts folder) using ';' as a delimiter between different directories. Copy this back to Path and save. (Additionally close your command prompt window to reset it.)
For my Windows 7 machine, I added:
;C:\Python33;C:\Python33\scripts;
Take care when editing this file. There are many videos out there describing this in detail if you feel unsure about changing this.
Installing Modules (Such as setup_tools)
Once Python is registered in the Path file, download and unzip setup_tools to a folder within your Python install directory called 'modules'. I use ExtractNow to unzip, as it will unzip twice (as required) automatically.
Open a command prompt window again, and direct it to change directories by typing
cd [directory for module you want to install]
On my computer, this would be
cd C:\Python33\modules\distribute-0.6.40
Again, I use distribute, rather than setup_tools as it sounds like you need would for Python2. Simply use the appropriate directory. Press enter to change the directory.
Once you've entered this and it shows a changed directory, type:
python setup.py install
This indicates that you want to use the program python to use the setup.py file in the specified folder to install the module. This should be successful, and will write many lines of code.
If you want to install other modules, you would install them in a similar way. Python would automatically use setup_tools on your computer to finish each install.
Remember to import at the start of your script when using them to code:
import [module]
Happy Programming!
