Abstract
In this chapter we will check to see if you have Python installed on your computer. If you do not have Python installed we will step through the process of installing Python. This is necessary because when you run a Python program it looks for thepython interpreter that is used to execute your program or script. Without thepython interpreter installed on your machine Python programs are just text files!
