Before installing Python, if you do not know what are the types of Python, then let me tell you that in 2025 you will know that AI has become quite popular. AI is used in every field. Python is used in tools like AI chatbot, machine learning and automation. In today's time, Python is the most popular and demanding language. If you are a Python developer, then this is the best time for you because the demand for Python developers is quite high. But if you want to learn, then first of all you should know how to run Python. So let's know how to run Python.

See, if you are installing Python, you should know whether Python is already installed in your system or not because sometimes we ourselves forget, so you have to follow the steps given below properly, by which you will know whether Python is installed in your system or not.

• First of all you have to open some software in your seat which we call command prompt and in that you have to type python --version
• As soon as you enter this prompt, whatever version of Python you have downloaded will be displayed there, otherwise an error will be displayed.

                        "Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.2538]

C:\Users\Admin> 

I think now you must have found out whether python is downloaded in your system or not, if not then let's go now and find out how to download its latest version. You have to follow the steps given below properly because if you don't download its version properly then you may face problem in the code.

• python.org/downloads First of all you have to go to the official website of Python, there you will find many versions but you will find the latest version in the hero section which you have to download, just keep in mind that you have to do it according to the system like Windows, Linux or Mac.

As soon as you download the latest python version correctly, then you have to run it correctly, many students download it but are unable to run python due to which they are unable to learn python, so let's go now in the next step we will know how to install python.

Now you have downloaded Python but now you have to install it too which is a very simple process. Even if you are a beginner, you can install it very easily. So let's know those steps.

• Now you have to click on the install button and you have to tick the checkbox.
• As soon as the installation is complete, you have to open cmd again and type "python --version" and press enter. If the version is displayed, then your python has been installed correctly, otherwise do it again correctly.

The same process happens in MacOS as well but it can be a little different because MacOS already has Python 2x, you have to install its latest version which is the same process, download it from the website and install it in your system, then run the package, then your Python will be fully installed successfully.

• Ubuntu/Debian:

                        sudo apt update

• Fedora:

                        sudo dnf install python3
                    

This topic is not important but if you don't know then know because you need a code editor to run python for which you can use vscode which is the best code editor in today's time if you are a beginner then it will be absolutely perfect you just have to follow the steps given below.
