Once you get a good handle on python I would recommend looking into pyenv.  [Learn More](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv)

## PC

You will want to head over to <https://www.python.org/downloads/> and download the latest stable version.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Add Python to the PATH during installation on the first screen.  If you forget to do this you will need to manually add it.  See the image below.
