Hello everyone, I’m Shan. I’m not an expert in this yet, but I’m eager to learn more.
I decided to start with Python and explore the interesting things it can do.
Here’s What I Installed
- Git
- Python 3.13
- VS Code
- WSL (for Linux on Windows)
- Docker
- GitHub SSH
How I Installed Everything
I used "Google Chrome" to download Git, Python, VS Code, and Docker.
I used "Windows PowerShell" to install WSL.
** Git**
Downloaded from git-scm.com
To test:i applied used below to check
bash
git --version
Python 3.13
Downloaded from python.org
i clicked on Windows installer (64-bit)
i then added python to path and clicked install
VS Code
Installed from code.visualstudio.com
i saw it was the easiest method to download
WSL
In PowerShell, I ran: wsl --install and it installed not taking much time
Docker
i Installed Docker Desktop and followed the instructions. i enabled wsl2 backened when prompted
After installation:
docker --version
GitHub SSH
i then Set up SSH using ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "ndanushan31@gmail.com" this is an example
I then copied the public key to GitHub under Settings → SSH and GPG keys.
what i learnt
- it needs patience. install one tool at a time
- SSH setup is worth doing — saves you from typing passwords
- do it with interest
My Conclusion
Now I’m ready to continue coding in Python with all the tools I need!
DO NOT HESITATE....Start now and experience the best
Happy coding!!
