Hi, We are going to do some setup on our computers in order to learn Python.
We can write our python codes on the browser as well, but internet speed can be an issue when compiling via an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that is online.
For this tutorials, we are going to create an online repository to share our python code, an IDE to code in and python installed on our computer so that our code can run on our computer’s environment.
Here are what you should do:
Create an account on GitHub (this is were you can share your code with other developers)
Download Visual Studio Code and install in on your computer (this is where we will be writing our code)
Download Python for Windows (if you are a Windows user) or Mac (if you are a Mac user).
Since you are downloading python from the official website, you can install python just the way you install your regular software applications. In the next phase, we will go over some terminologies.
Happy coding Pythonistas.
