130 PointsHow do I open the application in Sublime text 2?
I don't know what I'm supposed to do when you say 'open the application in Sublime text.'

130 PointsThanks Justin! I wasn't sure how to navigate to the right directory where my treebook folder was, where the application file was written, but I figured it out and was able to find the files I needed to open up in the editor. I'm using a mac, and read that when i am in the finder doing a search i can map to directories by pressing Command + Shift and pressing the letter G. Do you know of a better way by chance? Thanks for the quick response!

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 9,156 Pointsif i understand correctly, seems as though an alias would work in this situation.
command line ex:
treebook$ subl
where subl is your alias, and an alias can be set in your .bash_profile; I think.
perhaps this might be a good place to start.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 9,156 Pointsi'd recommend downloading sublime text 3.
well, i think it means in order to write code one needs to create directories, and files where files can be added or deleted for your project. you'll be spending massive amounts of time in the editor, therefore, rinse, repeat.
also, a text editor is the ecosystem or parking lot structure where your code lives.
are you familiar with the command line, yet? like, making directories, navigating between directories, removing directories, or files?
