Introduction

By finishing this lesson, you may begin studying Python right now. Check out our no-cost Python resources page if you'd want to learn more about Python or discover other methods to begin using it.

Python Setup for Windows

Get the setup file here. You can get it (https://www.python.org/) or install it through your package manager.

Python installation might take some time depending on the number and version of other software packages already present on your computer, so be patient while you run the installer and follow its instructions (e.g., if you have an old version of Python installed, then any newer ones will be disabled).

When installing Python for the first time (which most users won't do), you may be prompted for an administrator password; to skip entering a password during future installations, simply type "yes" without quotation marks into the box, as this is the default value set by previous installations.

After the installation goes well, the next step is to update all packages to make sure that using out-of-date versions won't cause any problems.

How to Put Python on a Mac

Python may be installed in three different ways on a Mac. The first two strategies call for installing the installer from the website, while the third, which makes use of Anaconda, simplifies the process.
