You will need a computer or virtual machine with Ubuntu 20.04 installed, as well as have administrative access to that machine and an internet connection.

This tutorial will explicitly cover the installation procedures for Ubuntu 20.04, but the general principles apply to any other distribution of Debian Linux. This tutorial will guide you through installing Python 3 on your local Linux machine and setting up a programming environment via the command line. Python 3 is the most current version of the language and is considered to be the future of Python. Quick to set up, and written in a relatively straightforward style with immediate feedback on errors, Python is a great choice for beginners and experienced developers alike. First published in 1991 with a name inspired by the British comedy group Monty Python, the development team wanted to make Python a language that was fun to use.

Python is a flexible and versatile programming language that can be leveraged for many use cases, with strengths in scripting, automation, data analysis, machine learning, and back-end development.
