== Goal #1: Installset up Python ==
 
(Estimated completion time: 2 - 10 minutes)
This section has instructions for installing Python and running Python from a command prompt.
 
First things first: we need to install Python! Please complete the instructions below for your operating system.
* [[Windows set up Python|Windows]]▼
* [[OSX set up Python|OS X]]▼
* [[Linux set up Python|Linux]]▼
 
▲* [[Skillshare intro to Python/Unit 1/Windows set up Python|Windows]]
= Goal #2: practice starting and exiting Python =▼
▲* [[Skillshare intro to Python/Unit 1/OSX set up Python|OS X]]
▲* [[Skillshare intro to Python/Unit 1/Linux set up Python|Linux]]
 
== Goal #2: install a text editor ==
We'll do much of our learning and practicing at an interactive Python prompt. So let's practice starting and exiting Python:
 
(Estimated completion time: 2 - 10 minutes)
* [[Windows interactive Python|Windows]]
 
* [[OSX interactive Python|OS X]]
In addition to being able to run Python, we are going to install a good text editor for writing Python code.
* [[Linux interactive Python|Linux]]
 
If you would like to use a different text editor from the recommendation for your operating system, great! Just [[Skillshare intro to Python/Asking questions| let me know]] so I can confirm that it'll work for this class.
 
* [[Skillshare intro to Python/Unit 1/Windows text editor|Windows]]
* [[Skillshare intro to Python/Unit 1/OSX text editor|OS X]]
* [[Skillshare intro to Python/Unit 1/Linux text editor|Linux]]
 
▲== Goal #23: practice startingterminal and exiting Pythonnavigation ==
 
(Estimated completion time: 10 - 15 minutes)
 
Throughout this class, we'll be running Python programs from the terminal, which means we'll want to be comfortable with navigating to those programs from the terminal prompt. In this section, we'll practice using these navigation commands.
 
* [[Skillshare intro to Python/Unit 1/Windows terminal navigation|Windows]]
* [[Skillshare intro to Python/Unit 1/OSX terminal navigation|OS X]]
* [[Skillshare intro to Python/Unit 1/Linux terminal navigation|Linux]]
 
==Success!==
 
You've set up your programming environment, gotten comfortable with Python, and are a terminal pro. Keep practicing!
