Wrong installation instructions in the README.md

The installation instructions in the README.md [on master] are not correct, or there is an issue with the master version..

The instructions references two methods of installation:

  1. use Package Control
  2. clone the repository (and rename)

At least on my system (ST3/Ubuntu), they yield two different results:

  1. creation of Packages/User/ANSIescape, with a ansi.tmTheme (and nothing else)
  2. (obviously) cloning of the repository, which has a completely different layout/logic, in particular, there is no ansi.tmTheme.

I have no understanding of the ST[3] plugin structure, but the differences should be at least documented.

This is important, especially because in cases like mine, both installation procedures yield a non-working plugin, in two different ways (I'll file this in two different issues) :-)

Also : "You can install via Sublime Package Control"

Currently, ST3 does not find anything using the search term "ANSIescape" or "ANSI escape" or "ANSI"in Package Control, meaning installation is currently not possible.

While this issue is a bit old, maybe this will be of some use as I encountered the same issue.
I was able to install via Sublime Package Control, but only through the advanced installation feature. Here are the steps I took:

  1. Package Control: Advanced Install Package (similar to normally installing a package with the cmd/ctrl + shift + P option)
  2. Type in "ANSIescape" (Since that is the name referenced here: https://packagecontrol.io/packages/ANSIescape)
  3. Hit enter
    Sublime should hopefully show a short status message about installing 1 package at this point. Afterwards you should be able to set syntax to ANSI as described in the README.
