## Step 2: Install code editor
To proceed, we need to install a code editor. If you already have a code editor, skip this step and move on to the next chapter.
We are free to choose any code editor we find comfortable working with. Some popular options include:
- Visual Studio Code - <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/" target="_blank" style="color: #ff8a00; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; transition: .3s ease-in-out" onmouseover="this.style.color='#ff0000'" onmouseout="this.style.color='#d27204'" >https://code.visualstudio.com/</a>;
- Sublime Text - <a href="https://www.sublimetext.com/" target="_blank" style="color: #ff8a00; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; transition: .3s ease-in-out" onmouseover="this.style.color='#ff0000'" onmouseout="this.style.color='#d27204'" >https://www.sublimetext.com/</a>;
