Sublime Text is a great free text editor. You can use it to write code in any language. It is especially nice for web development, because the only other program you need is a web browser.
You will want the portable version if you don’t have admin rights to install software.
Steps:
1) Download the portable version of Sublime Text
2) Make a folder in your C:\Users\your_user_name folder, probably naming it “Sublime”
Click your user name folder from there. Inside that folder, create a new folder named “Sublime”
3) Find your zip file of the Sublime Text files, and click “Extract All” put them into your new Sublime folder.
Click “Browse…” after you clicked Extract All.
Then click “Windows C:”, then “Users” then your user name folder, then “Sublime.” Click “Select folder” and then click “Extract.”
Now, go to a file browser and navigate to
C:\Users\your_username\Sublime folder.
Open the sublime_text.exe file, which has an orange/black “S” icon.
You should also right-click that file and “Create Shortcut” and put that on your desktop.
When the program is open, you can also right-click the program icon and say “Pin to Taskbar” to make it easy to open.
You should also change your options to make file extensions visible.
In your Folder Options, go to “View” tab and uncheck “Hide extensions for known file types.” You don’t want those file extensions hidden.
