PYTHON INSTALLATION

Installing Python is pretty straightforward. We see a step by step guide


according to our operating systems:

For Windows:
1. Download Python Installer:
o Go to the official Python website.
o Click the Download Python button (it will download the latest
version).
2. Run the Installer:
o Open the downloaded .exe file.
o IMPORTANT: Check the box that says Add Python to PATH.
o Click Install Now (or choose Customize Installation if you need
specific features).
3. Verify Installation:
o Open Command Prompt (Press Win + R, type cmd, and hit
Enter).
o Type: python --version or python
(Sometimes you may need to type python3 instead.)
If you see a version number, you’re good to go!

For macOS:
1. Install Using Homebrew (Recommended):
o Open Terminal.
o Install Homebrew if you don’t have it:
o /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.
sh)"
o Install Python:
o brew install python
2. Verify Installation:
3. python3 --version
Use python3 instead of python on macOS.

For Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):


1. Open Terminal.
2. Install Python:
3. sudo apt update
4. sudo apt install python3
5. Verify Installation:
6. python3 --version

Check if pip (Package Installer) is Installed:


After installing Python, pip is usually installed by default.
 Check with:
 pip --version
 If not, install it:
 python -m ensurepip --upgrade
