๐ŸGetting the Essentials (Python + IDE)

To run Python code you first need to install Python on your machine, I recommend if you are on Windows, install this through the Windows store and get the latest version. Find version 3.12 in the Windows Store and download this.

To write Python code you need an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) a fancy title for software (app) where you can write code. Just like the Notepad app is used to write text. The one I recommend is Visual Studio Code (VSC) by Microsoft, you can download that below.

Make sure you choose the correct version for the operating system you are running. If you are running Windows you want the Windows version.
