This is one of the most common questions I get asked by people who are just starting out with Python.
If you have no prior programming experience, how Do you start? Valid question.
Let's take it step by step.
Most guides start with understanding the syntax of Python, the basic data types, control structures etc. Which is all well and good but I think the first thing you should do is to install Python on your system.
That will be the end state of this Post i.e you will have Python installed on your system.
Install Python
- Go to the Python website and download the latest version of Python.
- Run the installer and make sure to check the box that says "Add Python to PATH".
If your setup was successful, you should see this screen -
Verify the installation
- Open a command prompt and type
python --version. You should see the version of Python you just installed.
If you have reached this stage, congratulations! You have successfully installed Python on your system.
