I kept having this error message come up on ST2, and it seems the solution was to install ST3.

I followed this guide for the installation. I mostly went back to the same packages, however, that I installed in ST2. They were all available, and my instructions for setting those up still works.

Installing Theme – Soda is the same process, but it is set up differently in the settings file.

I’ll post my User – Settings file here:

{
“font_size”: 13,
“ignored_packages”:
[
“Vintage”
],
“soda_classic_tabs”: true,
“soda_folder_icons”: true,
“tab_size”: 4,
“theme”: “Soda Dark 3.sublime-theme”,
“translate_tabs_to_spaces”: true,
“trim_trailing_white_space_on_save”: true
}
