OS X ships with Python installed, so the goal of this page is to make sure you can start a Terminal and run Python from the command line. |
|||
<ol> |
|||
<li>Start up a Terminal. You can find the Terminal application through Spotlight, or navigate to Applications/Utilities/Terminal.<br /> |
|||
<br /> |
|||
This Terminal contains something called a command prompt. This command prompt is another way of navigating your computer and running programs -- just textually instead of graphically. We are going to be running Python and Python scripts from this command prompt. |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>Test your Python install at the command prompt. Type |
|||
<pre> |
|||
python |
|||
</pre> |
|||
and hit enter. You should see something like |
|||
<pre> |
|||
Python 2.7.1 (r261:67515, Feb 11 2010, 00:51:29) |
|||
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin |
|||
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. |
|||
>>> |
|||
</pre> |
|||
* You just started Python! The <code>>>></code> indicates that you are at a new type of prompt -- a Python prompt. The command prompt let's you navigate your computer and run programs, and the Python prompt lets you write and run Python code interactively.<br /> |
|||
* If the Python version number (2.7.1 in the example above) is not a number between 2.4 and 2.7 (ignoring the number after the second dot), tell a staff member. |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>To exit the Python prompt, type |
|||
<pre> |
|||
exit() |
|||
</pre> |
|||
and press Enter. This will take you back to the OS X command prompt.</li> |
|||
</ol> |
|||
'''Success!''' |
|||
You have tested your Python installation. |
