Installing python3 and VSCode

For Windows

First, install python3. Most of you will probably use the python3 64-bit installer. If you need another version, go to the python3 downloads page and choose the one you want.

Next, install VSCode. Go to the VSCode home page and it should automatically detect your OS and give you a download link. You can also go to the downloads page and choose from there.

For Macs

First, install python3. Most of you will probably use the python3 64-bit universal2 installer. If you need another version, go to the python3 downloads page and choose the one you want.

Next, install VSCode. Go to the VSCode home page and it should automatically detect your OS and give you a download link. You can also go to the downloads page and choose from there.

For Ubuntu/Linux

First, install python3. Open a terminal and type “sudo apt install python3”.

Next, install VSCode. Go to the VSCode home page and it should automatically detect your OS and give you a download link. You can also go to the downloads page and choose from there. Choose the “.deb” package. Once it is downloaded, open a Terminal and go to your Downloads directory. Type “sudo dpkg -i code_1.63.2-1639562499_amd64.deb” to install it.
