Installing packages in Sublime Text 2

Question

When I go to browse packages in Sublime Text 2  the packages folder is full of all the plugins I wanted like Zen coding and SidebarEnhancements  My installed packages folder only has package control in it though  Should other installed packages be located in here    SidebarEnhancements  for example  does not work  even though it is in the packages folder  If I right click the sidebar I just get the  close  option  I ve been trying to figure this out for weeks  and I figured I would just ask here and see if anyone could tell me what I need to do after I have the package in the packages folder  if anything

With Package Control in Sublime Text 2  you really need to become cozy with a couple of different things to make it all work    Always look up a package in the wbond community  There you ll be able to see how many people have installed that package  the more popular  the better  as well as the documentation on the package  if any   Menu Items under Prefs  gt  Package Control  Here you can install  remove or see a list of all installed packages  Prefs  gt  Package Settings  Here you ll find the settings that can be tinkered with as well as shortcut keys that are available  Make sure to make any changes in the User Settings  rather than the Default Settings  Otherwise  your settings will be overwritten when that package is updated  CTRL SHIFT P  This will bring up a menu where you can look up a lot of the functions your installed packages can do  Just start typing and it will start filtering
