For windows make sure to install git from official git website instead to run it in command line instead of using TortoiseGit or whatever.
Here is a good howto for newbies like me : http://goo.gl/t9yNz

Thanks! Worked like a charm for me. The instructions on wbond didn't go into enough detail for me.

I am in the same boat as picwellwisher12pk. I'm on the latest ubuntu release, with build ST 3021.

I did rm -rf ~/.config/sublime-text-3; Started ST3, put in my license key. Then...

john@paloalto:~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages$ git clone https://github.com/wbond/sublime_package_control.git "Package Control"
Cloning into 'PackageControl'...

I restarted sublime. Then type control + shift + P, then type Package Control: Install package. It autocompletes it for me, when I hit enter though... nothing happens. No list of packages/repositories.

When I do Package Control: List Package, it only has 1, 2.0.0alpha3 wbond.. etc etc.

nevermind, I found the answer in the bug reports. ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/Package Control/Package Control.sublime-settings this file needs to have the git_binary variable set to '/usr/bin/git'; This should be in the install FAQ somewhere for linux users. It was tricky to find the solution.

(reference: wbond/package_control#375 )

I followed the instructions and tried it on the standalone 64 bit windows version and it doesn't seem to work.

svassr's comment and link above worked for me on windows 2008 x64.
I had to install in AppRoaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages folder as the blog post in the link states.
Thanks!

I used to have Sublime text 2 but few days ago found that I cannot open it. Later I found that there is a new version which is Sublime text 3. So I tried to migrated plugins but always had errors. So, I uninstalled Sublime text 2. Now I tried to followed the instruction on the wbond.net and I just lost. I am not familiar with the Git and how to use it while I have one now. Is there any simple ways how to install Control Package for Sublime Text 3 Beta?

Just so people know, these instructions are out-of-date. ST3 support was added to the stable release over a year ago, and the branch referenced here no longer even exists. I also highly recommend not checking out with git unless you are prepared to help debug development work. Almost all users should just follow the instructions at:

https://packagecontrol.io/installation
