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 !
just type :
sudo apt-get install python
It will show you whether you have newest version of python or you should upgrade
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.
