Install Python
Python is compatible with all operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Here's how to install it on several platforms:
- Windows: The current version of Python for Windows can be downloaded from the official website (https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/). To finish the installation, simply run the installer and follow the instructions. During the installation process, tick the box to add Python to your PATH so that you may execute Python from the command line.
- macOS: Although Python comes pre-installed on macOS, you can still download and install the most recent version from the official website (https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/). Open the Terminal and type the following command to see which version of Python is installed on your Mac:
- Linux: Python can be installed on Linux by using the package manager for your distribution. Here's an Ubuntu example:
After installing Python, launch it by typing python3 into a terminal or command prompt (or just python on Windows). This will launch the Python interpreter, from which you can issue commands and run scripts. IDLE, Python's integrated development environment (IDE), can also be used to write, run, and debug programs.
