Installing Python on macOS and Linux¶
Python3 is not generally pre-installed on macOS and may need to be installed
for your Linux system. For Linux, it is preferable to use your system’s
default package manager, such as yum
or apt
. If you are planning
to use Anaconda (our recommendation), a system python is not required as
python is installed as part of the Anaconda environment.
Alternatively:
you can download Anaconda from https://www.anaconda.com/download and follow the given directions for installation.
you can download the Python installer appropriate for your system from http://www.python.org/download/, and follow the given directions for installation.
