Beginning with Python, Installing Python, and Running Python for the First Time

 Python is a simple and fascinating language to learn. To install Python and launch your first Python application, follow these steps:

Step 1: Install Python

Python may be downloaded here: Navigate to the Python official website at https://www.python.org/downloads/. Select the version that corresponds to the system you're using (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

Installer: Run the downloaded executable file on Windows. Open the downloaded package for macOS and follow the installation instructions. Python is frequently pre-installed on Linux computers, although you may wish to update it using your package manager.

Step 2: Verify Installation

Windows: Start the Command Prompt (search "cmd" in the Start menu) and run python --version or python3 --version (if Python 2 and Python 3 are both installed). You should be able to see the Python version that was installed.

Linux and macOS: Type python3 --version into the Terminal. This will display the Python version that is currently installed.

Step 3: Execution of Your First Python Program

Select a Text Editor: You may write Python code in any text editor. On Windows, use Notepad, on Mac, TextEdit, or any code editor such as Visual Studio Code, PyCharm, or Sublime Text.

Create Your Own Code: Open your preferred text editor and begin writing your first Python code. Let's say we want to print "Hello, World!" on the screen.

print("Hello, World!")

Make a copy of the file: Save your file as first_program.py with a.py suffix.

Launch the Terminal or Command Prompt: Go to the location where you've saved your Python file.

Execute Your Program: Type python first_program.py in the terminal (or python3 first_program.py on macOS and Linux). Enter your password.

You should see the output

Hello, World!
