• For Windows, make sure to check the option that says "Add Python to PATH" during installation.
• For macOS, you may need to adjust your PATH environment variable after installation.

Turtle graphics

Turtle graphics is included in the Python standard library, so there's no separate installation needed. You can use it directly in your Python scripts.

Turtle sound libraries

We used mixer from the pygame library and the code used is

import pygame
pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.init()
