Steps

1
Go to https://www.sublimetext.com/3. You can use any web browser on Mac or Windows to download Sublime.
2
Click the appropriate link. If you're using a Windows computer, click the Windows download link (the file downloads as an .exe, but the "portable version" is a .zip); if you're using a Mac, click the OS X download link.
3
Open the downloaded file. Windows users will follow the on-screen instructions for the installation wizard and Mac users will drag and drop the Sublime application icon to the Application folder in Finder.
- After these processes are done, you'll find Sublime in your Applications folder or in your Start menu.
4
Click Sublime. The software will run and you can use it to write code.
- To write in a specific code, create the new project with that file extension. For example, if you want to run Python code, save your file with the .py file extension.
