Python is installed to all of our computers because it is useful framework for a variety of things .

To use the python interface from terminal just type python .

to check you python version just type python --version

to run a python script you need to type in the form :

./python_script_name.py

but very importantly it has to be executable first

chmod +x python_script_name.py

I hope it helps !

How do I install python through the terminal?

Python comes preinstalled on ubuntu in all recent releases. You can just type python in the terminal to access python 2 or python3 to access python3.

I downloaded python through the terminal, but when I went to run it, all I got was a whole bunch of script. Any suggestions? I am using lubuntu

It is unclear how you downloaded it. Normally you would simply run

sudo apt-get install python
sudo apt-get install python3

These really are the ways to install python in Ubuntu. Don't start downloading stuff yourself. It will mess up your system because Ubuntu also uses python a lot for the OS itself. There are some expert ways to install python, but they might be too advanced for you.
