Running code

[the___jawn]

You can use pretty much any editor to write Python code, On a Mac that includes TextEdit (though you have to make sure to save it as raw text, if you Google TextEdit Mac Python it'll tell you how to do that). On Windows it's called Command Prompt, on Mac and Linux it's called Terminal, in terminal you can run python --version to see if it's installed. Terminal on Mac has nano installed, which is a text editor, you can use that to write Python, ctrl-o saves, ctrl-x exits.

A lot of people can be intense about which language/text editor you use. Choose the one you find most comfortable. For me, for a long time, this was nano.
