Note

We highly recommend using GetBundles to install and manage the MailChimp TextMate bundle. This helps ensure that you have the most up-to-date version of the bundle.

Manually Installing the MailChimp TextMate Bundle

  1. Download the bundle ZIP file from the Github repo.
  2. Unzip the file.
  3. Use Finder to locate /Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/. If you don't have a "Bundles" folder, you'll need to create one:
    • Using Finder: Go to Home Folder > Library > Application Support > TextMate and create a new folder named Bundles.
    • Using Terminal: Run the following command
      • mkdir -p /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate
  4. Drag the entire unzipped folder, MailChimp.tmbundle, into the /Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ folder.
  5. Restart TextMate.

Getting Started with the MailChimp Bundle

  1. Create a folder and open the folder with TextMate.
  2. Create a new HTML file and make it the active document. The bundle needs a folder to work within and store your MailChimp configuration file.
  3. Have an API Key handy? If not, get one from your account.

  4. In TextMate, go to the Bundles menu, and then MailChimp > Connect to MailChimp. You'll be prompted to enter your API Key and the bundle will set up your connection.
