I am using Sublime Text 2 for Mac. I have installed the Package Control for Sublime Text 2, following the instructions from https://sublime.wbond.net/installation#st2 without any trouble. However, when I open up Ctrl+Shif+P to search for available packages, it does not show any.

See the image screenshot here

Do you have any solutions for it? I try restart Sublime but it doesn't solve the problem.

It appears that it didn't install without any trouble. On osx, it's command + shift + p. You haven't provided enough information to allow anyone to help you. - AGS
Also check the ST console for errors when you restart ST. If there are any, please include those in your question. - skuroda
It look like I did not properly restart the Sublime Text. When I turn off my Mac and open it again, the Package Control list showed up. Thank you for your help. - phanatuan

Take a look in your user Preferences.sublime-settings and remove the Package Control from the "ignored_packages" list if it is there.

If you use a Linux based system, you may have to check permissions of /home/user/.config/sublime-text-3. Check if the directory is owned by your user. If not, change the owner user for that directory.

Click the Preferences > Browse Packages and check whether Package control file is there or not.

You can manually put package control file there by downloading it from here and get rid of issues.

I had the same problem. I had to restart my computer to properly reset Sublime Text 2. It seems from your comment that you also got the Package Control list to show up after restarting your computer.

Your screenshot image is currently broken, but make sure you have the zipfile "Package Control.sublime-package" in the Installed Packages directory.

Open the console and run this command:

curl http://sublime.wbond.net/Package%20Control.sublime-package -o ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Installed\ Packages/Package\ Control.sublime-package

Then restart sublime.
