G+_Earl Broyles Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 My question is VERY basic. I have xubuntu on an old laptop and want to start working on my Python. Where do I got to install Python? I looked and it doesn't appear to already be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Neil E Roberts (yeomanm Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 For version 2.x use 'sudo apt-get install python' and for version 3.x use 'sudo apt-get install python3' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Lee Crocker Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 All Linux distributions have Python installed already. Just open a terminal window and type "python". If you want to use the IDE like they do on the show, you may have to install a package called IDLE. On Xubuntu, type "sudo apt-get install idle".
