hello everyone my name is Jean-Christophe Chouinard
now today we're gonna learn how to install
python on a Mac machine so I have a
brand new Mac machine right now and I
want to have python installed so what I
will start by doing is I will open the
terminal and I will go here open the
terminal
and then
let's roll that up and what I will see
is if python is installed so how to see
if python is installed is I type python
version
and then I can see python is not
installed so one thing that is very
interesting with a Mac machine is that
it's super simple to install python uh
what you can do there are two ways you
can do is either you type python tree
version
and most new Mac machine what they will
say is okay you don't have a command
line developer tool would you like to
install it if you click install right
here it will take a while it will then
solve the developer tool including
python
so
I will not spend time doing this right
now I I highly recommend if you install
python just click install here the
installation process will come and then
python will be installed this is not
what I want to show right now what I
want to show is the alternative option
that you could use
um
and personally I would just install this
python will be installed and you'll be
gone
if you don't want to do install the
command line developer tool you can also
install python by going through the uh
python Foundation website so python down
loads
and simply download the latest version
of python this way
so it will ask you do you want to allow
it and then you'll install the file and
once the python execute the python
package file is in is is downloaded then
you double click on the file and you
start going through the process of
installing do you agree uh yes and you
want to install it would take some space
yes and then you put your password on
and then you install the software
the installer yes
and okay so now we're almost done
installing python
um it's quite easy you see you have the
python launcher and
one thing I want to see is okay did I do
the right thing so I will re-aunch the
terminal
and what I will see is is python three

version installed and as I can see right
now python 3.11 is installed so
um so that was the second way you could
have installed Python and if you want to
run python you just type uh Python 3 and
then you go here and you say print
hello world and then

great so now you have installed python
uh the other thing you want to do is
command D in order to come back and you
want to see if by pip 3 is
uh install as well so here
um I can see that pip3 is indeed
installed uh in case that you wouldn't
have a pip 3 installed you could use the

command python 3.
get PIP dot pi and running this would

allow you to install python if you want
to know where your python file was
executable file was installed and you
can do which python tree and you could
see here
so this was the way to install

um python tree but then again I would
urge you that you just click install by
the initial recommendation I gave you is
just install the the xcode developer
tool that Mac wanted you to install and
you'll have python installed in the in
the way Mac recommends you to download
it so this was the tutorial thank you
for listening and uh have a have a good
day
