Installing Python 3 on Macbook Pro (2010) Yosemite

The first thing to do installing any programming language is to look for its official Site. Here is the Python Official Site, where we will arrive at its Home Page that looks like this:

As you can see there are a lot of options and resources for you to explore. In our case we need to click or hover over the Downloads tab. The page automatically identifies your OS, so it will give you the option to install both Python 3.X.X or the Python 2.X.X

And we click in the desired version of Python we want to download. 

Whatever your browser is the dowload should start the moment you click. The Download is a .pkg and once it has finished downloading you should have this in your downloads folder.

Once the download has completed, you open the .pkg file and you should see the installer 

Once you have read the Introduction, the Read Me and read and agreed with the Python License, you will be prompted to choose the installation location of Python. You can leave the default it won’t break your computer. And you click the Install button.

You will be then asked for your computers password for security reasons. And then the installation should begin. If you get this screen then you are all set.

For the future of my posts I will be using the terminal, not the IDE that has been installed. But since we have allready installed the pakage you now have the commands in your terminal.

So for being sure everything its ok, we are going to open the terminal and type:

python3

And if everything is set you should get this:

If you have the same in your terminal it means that now you are using Python3 to write codes. You can now try some commands and have a little fun with Python.

I highly recommend the you use the Python 3 Documentationso you can try different commands and star learning how to do more things with Python 3.

 I did all of these for mi #TC1014 #WSQ01.
