Installing the editor

@content
* An editor can downloaded once the compiler has been installed
* For editing LaTeX documents, any text editor works fine, e.g., <a href="https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/">Notepad++</a>, <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/download">VSCode</a>
* For beginners, <a href="https://www.texstudio.org/">T<sub style="font-size: 100%; margin-left: -.1em">E</sub>Xstudio</a> is recommended due to its LaTeX-specific features
* Download and install T<sub style="font-size: 100%; margin-left: -.1em">E</sub>Xstudio
