Environment Setup

The first step is to get Python running on your machine (skip to the next step if you've already done this).

Linux (yum/dnf)

$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum install python

Linux (apt-get)

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install python

Windows

Download Python from python.org or anaconda.com.

A fairly in-depth guide is available as part of the Conda documentation.
