How exactly do you install python and start making python codes?

Question

When I search that question, I usually get something like..

$pip install..

But like.. where exactly do you put that?
in the code editor or ... where?

Also may I ask what code editor you guys use to edit... specifically for python.

Answer 6

w¡1d3r💤 do you first download python first?

Answer 7

Linux:- sudo apt-get install python3
Windows:- Go to Microsoft Store and install from there!
I personally prefer sublime generally because idk it feels different cant really put my finger on why, but for web development, visual studio code because of extensions mostly and looks cool!

Wild3r.
Okay I already looked at that website, and now that I looked at it again, I understand.
thanks.
Okay, so python --version
it says 2.7.16

But I recently installed 3.8.5. Following the same website you gave me the link to.
(i used the first method)
is there a way to update the version?

Answer 9

Okay, I won't delete old version.
With the 3.8, I am able to open the idel, and type print("aaa"). it works.

Thank you for getting me this far.
Really appreciate it.
I was really puzzled, and now the picture is coming together well.

Thanks again.

Answer 10

w¡1d3r💤 o, and one more question.
Code editors: Sublime text, Bracket 2

I tried using these two code editors to write my python code.
after i write the code, I don’t see anything that i can press to make the code run.

Usually with html, there is a “run” / “preview”.

Not specifically on these 2 code editors, but ... Just in general, when writing python... is there a specific code editor for it, or am i missing the run button on the code editor apps?

Answer 11

Wild3r, it says command not found when I typed "py" or "py3"
