how can I flash the code into the RAMPS board?
It is not in .ino format
Any help?

You will need PlatformIO unless you are using an Arduino. Instructions for using the Arduino IDE are here [marlinfw.org]

Arduino IDE is not going to be very useful nowadays. PlatformIO is superior in every aspect.

I disagree. For the beginner using a RAMPS setup, get the Arduino IDE and use the Marlin 1.1.9 code. It requires no complex IDE cooperation and works just fine. There are example machine configs with the older Marlin code that show exactly how to do your Delta configuration and a TON of existing web sites that are very useful and use the Marlin 1.xx code base as the examples. There is plenty of time to do bleeding edge after you have mastered the basics with the legacy Marlin 1.xx code base.
Heavy9, your power supply is not good enough if you are going to use a 12v heated bed. You will want at least a 250 Watt supply to give yourself a little margin.
Also, the Prometheus system is a very expensive multi-filament extruder system. If you want dual extrusion that is supported by all of the slicers that takes two filaments in and extrudes through a single nozzle, then look at a Cyclops or Cyclops clone. Not very expensive and it is supported in all the firmware and slicers. And simpler to set up and mount as well.
Finally, if you cannot afford a kit, you will not be able to afford making one piece-meal. It is also nearly impossible for a newcomer to "bootstrap" themselves into a printer from nothing without a kit. All the parts can be gotten together for under $200 this way. Starting with a cheap kit, you can print new parts and upgrade for the cost of some plastic.
Ask the "what cheap kit is best for a newcomer?" on the list and you will get good suggestions.

So I need to buy a new power supply then?
Can anyone suggest the amount of Volt and Amps required?
What I meant by Prometheus System is two NEMA 17 motor as extruder and I use a Y-joiner.The filament go trough a single nozzle.
I'll try to get the Marlin 1.1.9 for my printer.
Thanks for the help dlc60!!!

The OP said he was cost sensitive. Prometheus is not a cost sensitive purchase. I have been using a Cyclops for years flawlessly too, for quite a bit less. However, you need to load both filaments into a Cyclops, even if you are only printing with one, or bad things will happen. Funny, no one warned me about that...Quote

The dual Prometheus system can be installed as a single filament system to begin with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Prometheus system as mine has run flawlessly for four or five years.

Slow down Hos! Walk before you run.
How much frustration are you willing to deal with at the beginning? The Prometheus setup is a tricky tune. I still recommend a Cyclops or Cyclops clone to do that.
To use dual filament setups you will need to print some stuff yourself. To print stuff yourself, you need a working printer, to have a working printer, you will need a kit.
Unless you are going to use an outside print company to make your parts that is.
When you buy a power supply, it will be spec'd by voltage and power. A 12V supply, 250Watt is the minimum I would suggest to give you a working margin.
You sound like you have already bought stuff - What parts do you have now?
