Hello, and welcome to how to learn Python! Python is a simple language you can download from python.org. There will be multiple steps along the way. And multiple gists! So follow me to keep up with the Python tutorials. Feel free to ask comments, I will be trying to look at them.

Lesson 1. Installation

The first lesson is the easiest, the installation of the python coding language. I will have tutorials for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. If you are on CentOs or something other than Ubuntu or Debian, I do not 100% guaruntee the linux commands to work.

Windows

Windows is one of the most popular Operating Systems, so It makes sense to start off with that. The first step is to head over to the python website. Then you hover over Downloads then click Windows. Right now the latest release is Python 3.8.3, you can still use Python 2.7.18. But I will not be covering that. Click the version that you want. In my case 3.8.3. If you have a 64 bit click Windows x86-64 executable installer, If you have 32 bit click Windows x86 executable installer.

The second way! Follow the first step again, go to python website. Now hover over downloads, and click all releases. Scroll to the version you want, then click download. This will automaticlly pick the right file for your OS and bit.

MacOS

MacOS is quickly taking off, to start go to the website, python website. Now hover over downloads then click Mac OSX. Click on the release you want, scroll down to the files section. Look for Mac OS X in operating system. And click the file name.

The Second Way!! Follow the first step again, go to python website. Then hover over downloads, click all releases. Scroll to the version you want, then click download. It will automaticly get the MacOS type of that file.

Linux

Linux is currently not supported with python. There is an alternative application for it, you can try that. I have no clue what else you can do.

Lesson 2. Hello World

Lesson 3. Functions

Lesson 4. Loops

This is based off of the official python.org website. Yes there is 3rd party services like I said.
