== Our Recommendation ==
 
On Linux, we suggest using Sublime, Komodo Edit, or GEdit. Sublime and Komodo Edit have more advanced features, but GEdit is already installed on Ubuntu. All can be used for free, though Sublime has an indefinite free trial period and requests that you purchase a license (you can ignore this for now).

Sublime Text is available from [http://www.sublimetext.com Sublime's web page]. It ashas a (non-free) lisencelicense, but you can use the free trial period for as long as you like.
 
=== Installation ===
Line 44:
* In both Global Indentation Settings and Per Language Indentation Settings, make sure Prefer Tab characters over spaces is UNchecked, and make sure both fields for Number of spaces per indent and Width of each Tab character are 4.
* Click on OK. Now the editor should add four spaces instead of a tab character when you press the tab button.
* To open a file, click on the New File label in the lower right. Select Python (not Python3) from the menu and then click open.
* A new file should open with <code>#!/usr/bin/env python</code> as the first line. This is a comment, and can be deleted or ignored.
* If a new file doesn't open, ask a staff member for assistance.
