Lecture 8:- Python Installation and First Program

To get started with Python, you'll need to install the Python interpreter on your computer and then write and run your first Python program. Here are the steps to do that:

Step 1: Python Installation

  1. Go to the official Python website: https://www.python.org/downloads/
  2. Download the latest stable version of Python for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
  3. Run the installer and follow the installation wizard's instructions. Make sure to check the option "Add Python X.X to PATH" during installation (where X.X represents the version number).

Step 2: Verify Python Installation After the installation, you can verify if Python is installed correctly by opening a terminal (on macOS and Linux) or a Command Prompt (on Windows) and typing the following command:

bashCopy code

python --version

This should display the installed Python version, confirming that Python is successfully installed on your computer.

Step 3: Write and Run Your First Python Program Now that Python is installed, you can create your first Python program. Here's a simple "Hello, World!" program:

  1. Open a text editor (e.g., Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, or any code editor like Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, or PyCharm).
  2. Type the following Python code into the text editor:

pythonCopy code

print("Hello, World!")

  1. Save the file with a .py extension, for example, "hello_world.py". The .py extension indicates that this is a Python script.
  2. Open a terminal or Command Prompt, navigate to the directory where you saved the "hello_world.py" file, and run the Python script with the following command:

bashCopy code

python hello_world.py

You should see the output:

Copy code

Hello, World!

Congratulations! You've written and executed your first Python program.

From here, you can continue exploring Python's capabilities, learning more about the language, and building more complex and exciting projects. Happy coding!
