Installation
macOS and Linux come with an outdated version of Python 3 by default. To get the latest version, you can install it as follows:
All operating systems: Download the latest version from python.org
Windows: Install it via the Microsoft Store
macOS Install it using Homebrew
Linux Install it through your package manager
In some cases, depending on the operating system and installation method chosen, the python
command may not work, and you need to use python3
instead
We can verify the Python interpreter in use with the following command:
python --version
