When I copied-and-pasted the installation commands into the console, the console reported that ST2 could not find the host. When I attempted to restart ST2 after quitting, a window popped up with an error message reporting "unable to run package setup" and tracebacks complaining about non-existent zipfiles. Clicking OK or the corner X closed the pop-up window without starting ST2.

Uninstalling and then re-installing ST2 failed to restore ST2's ability to start. Manually deleting Package Control from the Installed Packages and Packages folders was needed to restore ST2's ability to start.

I suspect that ST2 could not find the host because of my company's firewall. I imagine that other disruptions of internet connectivity can cause the same problem. The installation procedure could benefit not only from being extended to use proxies, but also from being made robust to disruptions of internet connectivity.
