This is a simple demo to make sure our users have Python3 set up and working
- python3 (Python is an open source general progarmming language https://wiki.python.org/moin/)
- git (Git is a version control system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git)
- Also an editor of your choice to look at the code https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors
- Make sure you have Python3 installed. Follow these guides:
- Make sure you have git installed.
git clone https://github.com/PythonTriCities/starthere.git
- If you had trouble with the git install or just want to download the files as a zip, click this link starthere
- Create the virtual environment if it doesn't exist:
-
On Linux/Mac it is: python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment
-
I like to set the path to be in the directory with a folder that shows the version of Python that I am running, so I include the python version I am using in the path
python3 -m venv ./.venv/python3.6
- On Windows it is c:>c:\Python35\python -m venv c:\path\to\myenv
c:\>c:\Python35\python -m venv c:\path\to\myenv
- Start your virtual environment.
- Linux/Mac:
source ./.venv/bin/activate
- Windows:
c:\path\to\myenv\Scripts\activate.bat
- Test that it is not legacy Python, ie 2.7
python --version
- You should see something like this:
Python 3.6.4
- Now from the starthere folder run the first.py script
python first.py
- If all went well you should see:
Please type in a name:
No test for this script, but we will cover that in later examples
