Everybody welcome to the next video.
So in this video are we going over where the installers are for Python or for your particular operating
system.
Now I'm gonna leave a link to this particular web page in the description above the video.
Now when you hit this page you're going to see it's going to default to whatever OS that you are currently
on.
So in my case it's Mac OS X.
Now what I want you to do is understand that you're not going to grab Python 3.
Well we're going to be working with this python 2 7.
And the reason for this is the syntax is a little different from Python 3.
However I want you guys to learn with Python 2 7 because most enterprises have not upgraded to Python
3 yet and a lot of systems are still running Python to.
You have a much higher chance of running into Python tune in Python 3 on a particular system in an enterprise
world at least at the moment everything is being moved over to Python 3 and most code is being written
to work in both lengthen both versions of the language.
However there are subtle differences.
Now you can go through this entire course order to be teaching.
I'm going to be going through with you guys on python 3.
However are you going to hit errors that I'm not going to hit when you go through the course but you'll
have to make adjustments so when you search up that error it'll tell you in python 2 It's this way in
Python 3 It's this way.
Doing that you will get through the course perfectly fine.
It'll just be subtle differences.
What I want you to do is pick for the OS that you want.
So in this case we'll look at we'll look at windows.
So when you come down here you'll see you'll see Python latest release for two latest release for three.
You don't want the latest release of two.
Same thing goes for OSX or any other Linux distro you're going to want.
The latest one only two not three unless there's a specific reason that you want to go through with
it.
Now all of these come with their own installers.
So just run through it like a normal installer would and then you should be good to go.
But what you should understand is when you load up a terminal for example I just loaded up a fresh one.
However if I had this running before I ran the installer.
And then after the installer this python would not be there.
So you need to make sure you close whatever command line on Windows Terminal on Linux whatever option
that you have.
You're going to close it and reopen it and let it re initialize for someone who's on a Linux system
would just head list mode.
Only you're gonna want to do a source bash RCC to reload your bash profile locally so it adds in the
path variables for python.
Now if you're already running and headless mode going through this course in the first place I'm sure
you're already aware of how to do that.
If not a quick google search will give that answer for you.
Or you can add it to the path yourself so when you've got everything installed you can open up a terminal
or command line and do Python dash dash version
without the space and then you're gonna get your answer.
So in my case I'm running Python 2 7 10.
So when you install it as I've been making of this video it's Python 2 7 15 for the latest to release.
So that's a good way for you to check because if you run Python and it doesn't do anything in the sense
command not cannot be found that means you either didn't install correctly or you on windows you made
it you may just restart the machine that sometimes will solve the problem for you as well as reloading
the command line or the bash prompt that you happen to have open.
So go ahead run to the installer if you run into any issues.
