Python setup

Renku requires python 3.6+.

Installation (MacOS users)

This setup assumes you have got Homebrew installed in your computer. If not please look here. To check which version of python is already installed you can use:

$ python -version

If you have python 2 you can consider removing it with

$ brew uninstall --force python@2

Before installing Python 3 add the following line to ~/.profile

$ export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin:$PATH"

and install xcode-select

$ xcode-select --install

To install Python:

$ brew install python

To check if Python 3 gets installed correctly do python --version again.
