Getting Python Installed
———————————————————————-
Of course, the first thing you need to do is install Python on your machine. If you go to the Python.org website, you may be a bit confused about which version of Python you should be using. The correct answer is:
**Use the latest version of Python 3.** As of the time of this writing, that is version **3.6.4**.
Here are some great installation guides for various system types:
- Installing Python 3 Properly on MacOS
- Installing Python 3 Properly on Linux
- Installing Python 3 Properly on Windows
Installing Pipenv
————————————————-
The next step is to install *Pipenv*, our packaging tool of choice. Package mangers allow us to easily manage (resolve, install, uninstall) dependencies and virtual environments for projects.
Python.org has a `great guide <https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/managing-dependencies/>`_ available for installing Pipenv that also covers its basic usage.
Here's a great `blog post <https://bryson3gps.wordpress.com/2017/11/08/stop-everything-start-using-pipenv/>` covering the basic concepts presented by Pipenv, and why it's an excellent choice for your first project.
