Welcome to this "episode" of a tutorial series;
Today we are here to understand how to install Python and understand what Python is:

Python is a "high level" programming language, object oriented, suitable, among other uses, for developing distributed applications, scripting, numerical computing and system testing.

But now, let's begin the installation

Go on Python.org and Click on "Download"
Click on the Python + Python Current version ( in this case 3.10.4 )
Open the installer and make sure you have clicked the PATH pin
Verify if all are correct opening your cmd and type python

Now we are ready to installing an IDE
The Default IDE is IDLE ( you can check it typing IDLE on your search in the os )
but there are thousands of IDEs these are the best known:
1: PyCharm.
2: Visual Studio Code.
3: Sublime Text.
4: Vim.
5: Atom.
6:Jupyter Notebook.
7: Eclipse + PyDev + LiClipse.
8: GNU Emacs.

I (via my experiences)
I recommend using Visual Studio code
( For install it follow the enstructions )
It's really easy to setup and confortable.

After this now, we can start programming clicking on "file" -> "new File" and calling the the file "main.py"
now you will find an interface where you can write everything

At the next episode we will do our first program!
