 One of the most widely used IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for Scala is:
-  * [[https://code.visualstudio.com/download | VSCode]] - You will need to install the Scala (Metals) plugin
+  * [[https://code.visualstudio.com/download | VSCode]] - You will need to install the Scala (Metals) and Code Runner plugins
-  * alternatively, you can use [[https://www.sublimetext.com/download | Sublime]], which is a simpler (faster) editor. You can add syntax highlighting plugins for Scala (see: [[https://scalameta.org/metals/docs/editors/sublime/ | scalameta ]]), as well as worksheet/REPL support (see: [[https://packagecontrol.io/packages/SublimeREPL | SublimeREPL]]).
+  * We recommend reading the official [[https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/book/introduction.html|Scala documentation]] for an introduction to the language
+  * To test the installation create a new project by going to the Metals Plugin -> Build commands -> New Scala Project and select scala/hello-world.g8, you should be able to run the code directly via the Run Code button
