How to Install Sublime Text on Windows 10

As a developer, data scientist, machine learning engineer, etc. it is essential to code in a user-friendly code editor where there is syntax highlighting as well as easy execution of codes. This is where these third party code/text editors come into action. Numerous text editors are available on the net some of them are paid while some not. These editors help in making the life of every developer easy due to the built-in cool features present. Some cool features are even AI-based like auto code completion and suggestions.

Now, being a developer from the world of Python, it is imperative to choose the best text editor so that it can be used to build, train as well as deploy our work. Some of the best editors present out there are Pycharm, Spyder, VS Code, VS, Notepad++, Sublime Text, Atom, etc. Out of this, my personal favorite is Sublime Text and also loved by many people out there. This text editor not only provides code editing for Python but many programming as well as scripting languages like Perl, Java, Julia, Node, Ruby, C#, and many more.

There are specialized plugins that we need to download and then can start working on Sublime with the desired programming language.
