Linter installation

Before using this plugin, you must ensure that abc2midi is installed on your system. To install abc2midi, do the following:

2. Install abc2midi by typing the following in a terminal:

In order for abc2midi to be executed by SublimeLinter, you must ensure that its path is available to SublimeLinter. Before going any further, please read and follow the steps in "Finding a linter executable" through "Validating your PATH" in the documentation.

Once you have installed and configured abcmidi, you can proceed to install the SublimeLinter-contrib-abc2midi plugin if it is not yet installed.

Plugin installation

Please use Package Control to install the linter plugin. This will ensure that the plugin will be updated when new versions are available. If you want to install from source so you can modify the source code, you probably know what you are doing so we won’t cover that here.

To install via Package Control, do the following:

1. Within Sublime Text, bring up the Command Palette and type install. Among the commands you should see Package Control: Install Package. If that command is not highlighted, use the keyboard or mouse to select it. There will be a pause of a few seconds while Package Control fetches the list of available plugins.

2. When the plugin list appears, type abc2midi. Among the entries you should see SublimeLinter-contrib-abc2midi. If that entry is not highlighted, use the keyboard or mouse to select it.
