Distributing Points on the Sphere discusses four different approaches. For some read-made code (with a demo, see below), you can use the Fibonacci algorithm. (Click on the $</>$ sign at the top to see the code.)

Fibonacci algorithm: A fast method of producing an arbitrary number of equally distributed points around a sphere. This is accomplished by drawing a fibonacci spiral (similar to sunflower seed pattern) that maintains constant surface area.

For some ready-to-use code (with a demo, see below), you can use the Fibonacci algorithm. (Click on the $</>$ sign at the top of that page to see the code.)

Distributing Points on the Sphere discusses four different approaches. More practically, you can use an algorithm such as the Fibonacci algorithm.
