 Hello, welcome to Python tutorial. In this video I'll show you how to install latest python on your machine. Let's begin by making sure that python is properly installed and configured on your machine. Now the good thing is if you are watching this video and our Macintosh or Linux machine then change or you already got a python installed on your system. But it might not be the most recent version. The macOS shipped with python has done many various of Linux so you should already be good to go but you can make sure that you have the right version by following along with me. Step 1. Check if python is already installed. So for that you can go to your terminal and here you can write command python space iPhone iPhone version version and hit the enter key. Now can see I have already installed python 2 on my machine but if I say python 3 python 3 iPhone iPhone version then hit the enter key. You can see I am getting python 3 version 3.8.2. It is great but it is not the latest version for this recording. So how to install latest version of python on your machine? Step 2. Download and install python on your machine. So let's open your browser. So this is python website located at python.org and I am going to click download section. Now as of this recording the older 2.x series of python has been retired and it is not recommended for the new development. You can see here that there is a link download latest version and in this case it is python 3.10.1 alright and if you scroll down you can see that 2.7 is officially it is in of life. You can also see here that the download page default to the version for my operating system. This is for macOS and you can see it says download the latest version for macOS. If we are on our windows it will offer the windows version. So you will need to do is download the particular version for your operating system. I am going to click download button. Once done I will go to download folder and double click this .pkg file. It will just double click on the pkg file and it will start the python install. So here I will click continue and continue, continue again, here is license, continue and here you have to agree to continue I will click agree and click install. And it will ask for a system password, type your operating password and install software. So this will start installing python on your system. So let wait for a python to get installed. Installing is still installing this is coming yep so this one close. Now installation was complete successfully and close the installer. And you can keep a python installer or move to truss or move to the truss. So here on my machine this one close, this one close to quit. So here on my machine I am going to open terminal again. Now if you own a windows machine then just use the terminal program that comes with your system. So here in my terminal I am going to type python 3 version. For macOS some system comes with both the older python 2 as well as the newer python 3 install. Now if you are on windows you don't need to type python 3. So I am going to type python 3 and then I am going to hit enter key. And you can see that I am using python 3.10.1 on my machine. Now if you don't get a result that looks like this the word python followed by a version number you probably got some kind of error message and that means that python is not on your computer and you need to go get it. So if you need to download and then run installer for the version that appropriate for your operating system and then try that terminal test again that we did earlier and once you have got python installed you are ready to go.
