There are a few ways to install Python, but we recommend using Anaconda, which is an open-source distribution of Python that includes many of the most popular Python libraries for data science. To install Anaconda, follow these steps:
- Go to google search “anaconda python” go their page and download it.
2. Choose the installer for your operating system and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit). We recommend installing the latest version of Anaconda, which is currently Python 3.9.
3. Run the downloaded installer and follow the instructions. If you’re unsure about any of the options, accept the defaults by clicking “next”.
4. Once the installation is complete, open a terminal (on Mac or Linux) or command prompt (on Windows) and type “conda — version” to verify that Conda has been installed correctly. You should see something like “conda 4.9.*”.
With Anaconda installed, you can now install Python packages using Conda’s package manager, conda. For example, to install pandas (a Python library for data analysis), type “conda install pandas” at the terminal prompt and press enter/return key.
