Answer 1

None of the above answers worked for me as they appeared to be missing a crucial 'step' to the process (step 2 below). This is how I got it to install for me in Windows using Sublime Text 3:

1. Install Package Control (Tools > Install Package Control...)
2. Open Package Control (Ctrl+Shift+P) and type 'Package Control: Install Package' and then press Enter.
3. Sublime will attempt to load any custom repositories then offer a list of packages available.
4. At this point, I was able to successfully search for 'indent xml' and have it appear in the list and install by pressing Enter with it selected.
