Installing a Text Editor + Its Packages

Programming directly in any language's Command Window is inefficient; instead, we use text editors that offer organized layouts, code folding, snippets, and linting. In this course, we'll use SublimeText, a free, lightweight, versatile, and well-established text editor.

Installing SublimeText

• Go to www.SublimeText.com;
• Click Download at the top right;
• Download the version for your operating system;
• Open and install the download.

   • Type Package Control: Install Package;
   • Type and click the name of the package you want to install;
