1. Installing Python
1️⃣ Visit the official Python website: https://www.python.org/ and download the Windows version of Python.
For the Windows installation, I downloaded Python 3.13.7. Click to download ⏬ and save the file to your desired path (I saved it to D:\py).
2️⃣ After the download is complete, double-click the python-3.13.7-amd64.exe file to start the installation.
3️⃣ Check the box for “Add Python to PATH”. 4️⃣ Choose “Install Now” or a custom installation path. 5️⃣ After installation is complete, press Win+R, type cmd, and hit OK.
Type python in the command line, and if the following image appears, it indicates that Python has been successfully installed.

2. Next, you need to install development tools 🛠️
1️⃣ To install the PyCharm tool, visit the official website: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/
Download the corresponding .exe for Windows. After downloading, double-click the .exe file to install. Once installed, a PC icon will appear on the desktop.
2️⃣ Open PyCharm and create a new project.
Create a folder for categorization.
Right-click to create a new Python file.
Name it test.
3️⃣ Write a simple Python statement: print('hello world'). Right-click to run test.
The output window will display hello world.
Congratulations! You have completed your first line of Python code!
