Beginner!
You might want to at least use a code editor with syntax highlighting so that it gets a little easier to read the code. Personally I use Geany but there are many other ones you can use.

Sunsetting Atom Text Editor
Oh, that's a good point about the sunsetting. In Brackets's case, Adobe left it active in the hands of the community.
Live Preview in particular is one of the areas I had some fun working on. I worked out a way to do diff/patch to make it quickly and incrementally update the browser[1]

I don't understand how to install brackets, can someone help me?

I don't think there's a fix for this. This problem has many issue entries on github, and it will eventually get worked on at some point. However you could try this troubleshoot guide.

Update: The state of Brackets (Sept 2nd)
https://brackets.io/ as well as https://registry.brackets.io/ are already back again. Currently there are still some issues with SSL certification but as soon as these are resolved we should expect to get a working extension manager again. After that, the community will be able to transition to the new branch of Brackets (brackets/brackets-cont) most likely by some kind of patch.
