### Installation Steps ###
**Note**: This guide assumes you are running a recent version of 64-bit Windows.
#### Install the Required Software ####
1. [Sublime Text 3](https://www.sublimetext.com/3) (64-bit)
- Alternatively ```choco install sublimetext3``` using [chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/)
2. Install [Package Control](https://packagecontrol.io/installation) using the information in the link. Package Control allows you to easily install and remove ST3 packages.
#### Update PATH Variable ####
If you are unsure what the `PATH` variable is in windows or how to change it, see the following [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9pg2FHeoq8). The goal is to not receive the error `...is not recognized as an internal or external command...` in the Command Prompt for each of the steps.
1. Ensure that Sublime Text is in your path
- Run the command `sublime_text` in the Command Prompt and see if it is recognized
- If it isn't add the `Sublime Text 3` folder for Sublime Text to your path
- Typically is something like `C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3`
