Our recommendation
On Mac OS, we suggest the Smultron text editor. You'll have to first download it, then install it.
To download' Smultron:
- Click this link and download the ZIP file
- The ZIP file will expand, and you will have app called Smultron.
- Open Finder from the bar at the bottom.
To install' it:
- Start Finder
- On the left side of the Finder, under "Places", click on "Applications".
- Drag the Smultron icon to any blank space in that window.
To run Smultron:
- Start Finder
- On the left side of the Finder, under "Places", click on "Applications".
- In the middle column, scroll down to to find Smultron.
- Double-click Smultron to launch the editor.
Success!
Now you have an editor that you can use to open any text file, including Python programs.
If you prefer a different editor for text, check with an instructor before moving on to make sure it will work for the weekend.
