Hi and welcome to this lesson in order to follow along with the course, you're going to need a text
editor.
My preferred text editor of Choice is Visual Studio Code.
If you prefer atsu or intelligent.
Feel free to go ahead and use those.
Now, a visual studio code is available for all platforms.
As you can see on my screen now, I'm using a Mac.
So it's defaulting to the Mac install.
But if I click on Massara, you can see it's available for other platforms.
I'll also include a link to this page so that you can go ahead and download it.
There's also one very impulsive plugin.
We're going to need full course and it's a terrible plugin by Hashi Call.
Now, if you're joining from the certification course, we're watching this again as the refresh.
This used to be the plugin developed by someone called Michael, and it only supported the zero points
eleven syntax, but it also provided the also complete.
Very recently, Hashi Corp have taken over the plugin and are now maintaining it and developing it.
Once you've got Visual Studio Code installed, what you can do is click on the link, which I'll also
provide for you.
And then go ahead and click on install.
You can see this pop up, click, continue, because I'm on a Mac is going to ask me, do I want to
open up Visual Studio code?
I'm going to click allow.
And as you can see here, I now click on install.
Excellent.
And we're now ready to get started.
