Secure channel error when installing packeges in Sublime Text

Question

I am trying to install some packages in sublime text but when i click on a package to install it, it fails and this error appears in the console: Secure channel error, server not providing SSL.

Is there a way to download those pakcages manually and install them?

I deleted sublime text and installed a newer version of it but it is still the same.

Without seeing the actual error message that you're seeing it's hard to say for sure what the problem you're seeing is.

However, that said, Package Control will never install a package that is not served over a secure channel (i.e. via https rather than http because of the security implications of someone maliciously injecting unauthorized code during the download.

The message you specified is listed as one of the errors of this nature; whatever tried to serve the channel/package was doing so unsecured.

That could be because you have a custom URL set up that does not serve things with a valid certificate, or it could be because the certificate chain on your system doesn't recognize the certificate being used and refuses the connection.
