Advanced [Sublime Text](http://www.sublimetext.com/) build system to compile NSIS scripts, supporting Windows, macOS and Linux.
## Installation
### Package Control
1. Make sure you already have [Package Control](https://packagecontrol.io/) installed
2. Choose *“Install Package”* from the Command Palette (Super+Shift+p)
3. Type *“makensis”* and press Enter
With [auto_upgrade](http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control/settings/) enabled, Package Control will keep all installed packages up-to-date!
### Using Git
1. Change to your Sublime Text `Packages` directory
2. Clone repository `git clone https://github.com/idleberg/sublime-makensis.git makensis`
## Setup
### Windows
Download the NSIS installer from [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/p/nsis) and run setup. Once completed, you need to add the installation folder to your `PATH` [environmental variable](http://superuser.com/a/284351/195953) manually.
Alternatively, you can install NSIS using the [Scoop](https://github.com/NSIS-Dev/scoop-nsis) package manager:
```sh
$ scoop install nsis/nsis
```
### Linux
Install NSIS from your distribution's default package manager, for example:
``` bash
# Debian
sudo apt-get install nsis
# Red Hat
sudo dnf install nsis
```
### macOS
Install NSIS using [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) or [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/):
``` bash
# Homebrew
brew install nsis
# MacPorts
port install nsis
```
## Usage
