I cannot get the first project file to open in Sublime Text 3. How do I do this?

I am using Windows and I am enrolled in the Front End Web Development techdegree program. I downloaded the project files thinking it would open up just fine in Sublime Text Editor. Yikes! Now what? Do I need to download another text editor? What am I missing?

Hi there! While I'm not a Front-End Techdegree student, I can tell you that in my experience, these files tend to be located in a .zip file. If this is the case for you, then you will need to extract the files before you can open them in Sublime3. I have a very hard time imagining that there is anything in those files that wouldn't be supported in Sublime 3 after they are extracted from the zip. If you're using Windows 10, when you double click the zip file you should see a "Extract all" button on the ribbon at the top.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
