Workspaces is basically a text editor and a virtual environment set up by the Treehouse staff. You can't download it because you're pretty much just using a text editor and saving files onto their server. To get more practice building websites, you can either just log into Treehouse and use workspaces or you could download a text editor like <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/3">Sublime Text 3</a> and set up your own computer to handle the specific languages you'd like to use.

HTML, CSS and Javascript are all interpreted by the browser so you don't have to download anything to practice using those. Just open your .html files up in your web browser of choice to view your website.

If you make something really cool in workspaces, you can click the bent arrow looking button called "Fork". If you have a GitHub account, that will save all your code to that account and then you can download your files from GitHub to your computer.
