The installation of Python (and its developing packages) differs from operating system to operating system. Optional Git is needed if a package is installed directly from GitHub.
On Linux, Python3 is probably already installed, but the development packages are usually not. Optionally, Git can be installed as well. You should be able to install all prerequisites using:
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-venv
sudo apt-get install git
# CentOS/RHEL
sudo yum install python3 python3-devel
sudo yum install git
# openSUSE/SLES
sudo zypper install python3 python3-devel
sudo zypper install git
While we reccoment using Homebrew to install Python3 on a Mac, other means of obtaining Python like Anaconda, MacPorts, or Fink should work just as fine:
brew install python
brew install git
The software prerequisites need to be downloaded and installed from their particular web sites.
For python:
- download from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
- use the 64bit version if your system is not very old
- don't forget to check 'Add Python to PATH' during setup
For git:
- download from https://git-for-windows.github.io/
- use the 64bit version if your system is not very old
All further steps need to be performed using the windows shell cmd.exe. You can open it from the Start-Menu.
As an alternative for advanced users, you can use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to install a Linux distribution whithin Windows 10. The installation is explained in the Microsoft documentation. When using WSL, please install Python3 as explained in the Linux section.
