Python on Mac

[Wictorian]

I installed Python but it doesn’t work on terminal. I don’t know much about MacOS. Can you offer any assistance?

Why don't you download a Python IDE for Mac? 

An IDE  is integrated development environment - basically a fancy text editor with special added functions to connect to python compiler, highlight syntax to spot errors fast, give you tips as your write code (function parameters, stuff like that) and will have built in buttons and shortcuts to compile, run , debug python scripts.

 

Quick google search points to PyCharm as a good python ide on mac but it costs money, so next best things would be these 12 BEST Python IDE & Code Editors for Mac & Windows in 2022

 

Try PyScripter (free), SPYDER (Open source), PyDEV ...

How did you install python?

What in the terminal does not work?

Which of the following commands work?

python --version
python2 --version
python3 --version

macOS comes with Python.

Yeah but not mine because the school does some things to it.

Although the latest versions of mac comes the Python 2 version that you can check with

python --version

command on your terminal.

If you wish to install the latest version of Python 3, you can visit the official website of Python and download it from there.

here is the link (https://www.python.org/downloads/)

After downloading and installing you can run the Python 3 version on your terminal using the python3 command.

python3 --version

to check the python version and 

python3

to  open the python shell.

It has support for ARM binaries as well.

 

You can also manage it through brew with brew services.

@Wictorian did you try these steps? ^^ 

 

That should work for you. Homebrew is really handy and something you'll end up using a lot if you're developing on macOS.
