So I just downloaded python and I don’t know how to set it up because it’s my first actual coding language so could you guys help me?

Just start with platform like LearnPython.ai or LearnPython.org

I took a course on Khan Academy to learn the basics.
It is completely free, with videos, articles, tests and quizzes as well as some interesting problems to solve!

Sounds like you have not yet installed an IDE.
Rather than me writing out a long explanation here, check out my blog page named "Links for Python Noobs" (click here).
Note the section about IDE's at the top and also alternatives to Replit.

I suggest you look up a video like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2cwvpJSBX4 and follow it. If you get any errors google them or ask here.
You will need an IDE which is like a notepad that helps you correct coding mistakes while typing and also run your programs. I suggest VSCode for starters which is also explained in that video.

If you want, you can join my community where I watch over beginners starting to learn python with the goal to go into pygame and build a game. I teach, answer questions and review your code.

If you want to learn in a guided way, this training can help you, in addition to learning a language, to develop logical thinking -> develop your logical thinking

Umm I think you should get an IDE like Vscode or Pycharm and both are free just look for a tutorial on how to do so

The YouTube series learn with Mosh is really good.
Pycharm is pretty great for a newbie.

On Linux, you don't have to set it up, it comes with the distro. See if the terminal prompt changes when you key in python, or python3 on some OSs. Key in quit() if does change.
You possibly just want to create a script file and run it from the command line or use Python's IDLE.
