1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,790
Okay, let's take a look at installing Python.

2
00:00:03,060 --> 00:00:05,610
A lot of computers actually already come with Python.

3
00:00:05,620 --> 00:00:08,310
If you're on a Mac, it probably already came with Python

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,050
2, maybe a version of Python 3.

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,960
A lot of Windows computers these days come with Python as

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,600
well. Linux probably already has Python, but let's not

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:18,600
make any assumptions here.

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:24,000
So what I want you to do is open up your browser, go to 'python.org',

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,600
and you'll see this website that looks like it hasn't

10
00:00:26,630 --> 00:00:28,180
changed since 1998.

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,320
And let's go to 'Downloads', and the latest version,

12
00:00:32,330 --> 00:00:35,500
and this has detected that I'm already on a Mac computer

13
00:00:35,740 --> 00:00:37,300
is 3.8.2.

14
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:39,460
So it's going to suggest that I download this.

15
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,430
You could download the suggested version as well for your

16
00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:47,010
operating system, or you can scroll down a little bit and

17
00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:48,300
you can download a different version.

18
00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:50,670
So you can see we have all these different versions, there's

19
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:51,720
lots of them in here.

20
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,590
So I'm going to highly recommend that you download either

21
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,930
Python 3.7 or 3.8, or if you're watching this a little bit

22
00:01:00,940 --> 00:01:05,790
after recording of this course, and Python 3.9 or 3.10 is

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,890
out, download the latest version.

24
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
So I'm going to suggest getting Python 3.8.2 right now.

25
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,400
And if you click this, it's actually going to bring me down to a

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,500
page, it'll bring you down to a page like this, too, and you have

27
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:18,570
to scroll down to the bottom.

28
00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:21,540
And if you're on Windows, you'll probably want the 64-bit

29
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,830
executable installer.

30
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,630
That's going to be the easiest way to install Python on Windows.

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,590
If you're on Mac, you probably want the macOS 64-bit installer.

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,480
That's probably going to be the easiest way.

33
00:01:32,490 --> 00:01:36,470
And if you were on some sort of Unix type system also known

34
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,420
as Linux, you could download or curl the 'source tarball', or

35
00:01:41,430 --> 00:01:45,230
the 'Gzipped source tarball', uncompress it and install it.

36
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,410
So once you have Python downloaded and installed, you need

37
00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:49,940
both of them, download and install itt

38
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,060
then let's head on to that next lesson.

39
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:54,520
But don't move on to the next lesson until you absolutely

40
00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:56,830
have Python downloaded and installed.
