- Open Sublime Text,
- Press Control + Shift + P (or Command + Shift + P if on Mac using macOS) to open Comand Pallete,
Sublime Package Control - Install Package
- Now search: Install Package,
- After the Repositories are loaded you will see a search box - look for WordCount,
Installing Package WordCount
- After Installation, you should be able to see the word count on the bottom left bar.
You can find the WordCount Package on GitHub: https://github.com/titoBouzout/WordCount
