Installing a Text Editor and Its Packages

Programming directly in any language's Command Window is inefficient; instead, we use text editors that offer organized layouts, code folding, snippets, and linting. In this course, we'll use SublimeText, a free, lightweight, versatile, and well-established text editor.

Installing SublimeText

Go to www.sublimetext.com ;
Click Download at the top right;
Download the version for your operating system;
Open and install the download.

Note

Check the prompt Add to explorer context menu so that you easily can find it when you're done.

Instruction

To set up SublimeText for folding, creating snippets, and linting Matlab code, follow these steps:

1. Installing Packages in SublimeText

Open SublimeText;
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P or Cmd + Shift + P on Mac);
Type Package Control: Install Package and press Enter;
Search for the package name and click on it to install;
Wait for the confirmation message at the bottom left indicating the installation is complete.

2. Required Packages

SyntaxFold (demonstrated in the video);
AutofoldCode;
SublimeLinter;
SublimeLinter-contrib-mlint (install SublimeLinter first);
PackageResourceViewer;
gruvbox (for the color theme).

3. Verifying Installed Packages

Open the Command Palette;
Type Package Control: List Packages;
Check the list of installed packages that appears.

4. Removing Unwanted Packages

Open the Command Palette;
Type Package Control: Remove Package;
Select the package you want to uninstall.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, refer to your Quick Reference for additional guidance.
