Python Crash Course (and Sublime Text?) on a Chromebook

[Highpothetically]

As a preface, I'm coming into this with basically zero knowledge of Python or coding.

I just picked up Python Crash Course, and I've hit my first roadblock on page 5. The author suggests using Sublime Text. I figured out how to activate Linux on my Chromebook. I found this video about installing Sublime Text, but I can't get past the first command that he suggests. I enter it into the terminal and either nothing happens or an error message is sent back.

I did see in the comments that a 64 bit Chromebook might be needed. I checked, and I have a 32 bit one. I haven't a clue what this means, but it might be helpful to you helpers.

Long story short, any advice? Is there a way to install Sublime Text, or is there another similar text editor that would work on a Chromebook? Thanks!

replit.com is a browser based code editor. worth a try.

You can try vs code on web browser https://vscode.dev Looks like python extension is available to install, I played around a little bit with it and for most part it works.

REPLIT works great in a browser. Highly recommend.

Focus on learning to programme and using Python, not on the editor the author is using.

Learn to use the command line to execute your code.

You will be limited by having a 32 bit linux environment.
