I had trouble making the Emmet plugin work on my Arch+ST3 install. Don't know if it's Arch's fault, or because my installation is starting to get really old… But here is how it worked in the end as of right now:
- uninstall current Emmet
- uninstall Package Control (we will reinstall it later)
- close Sublime Text 3
- delete all remaining Emmet folders you find in the
~/.config/sublime-text-3 and subdirectories
- delete PyV8 folders you find in
~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages
and~/.config/sublime-text-3/Installed Packages
- delete all Package Control related files and folders except
~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User/Package Control.sublime-settings
- start Sublime Text 3
- install Package Control https://packagecontrol.io/installation
- wait for missing dependencies to install
- close Sublime Text 3
- delete
~/.config/sublime-text-3/Installed Packages/0_package_control_loader.sublime-package
- start Sublime Text 3
- install Emmet via Package Control
Worked for me!
