Getting started with Python
Install Python
To run your Python programs, you must first install Python on your system. We recommend that you download the latest version of Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/. If you use Windows, do not forget to check the "Add Python 3.* to PATH" box during the installation process (or install Linux instead :D).
Install an IDE
An IDE or integrated development environment is basically a text editor on steroids. Although it is not directly necessary to install an IDE for programming, we would highly encourage installing one. Our top two recommendations are PyCharm, fully optimized for Python, or VSCode, which is more lightweight and can be used more generally.
