# Install Python

**In this session, we will guide you through the process of installing Python on your local system. Whether you are using Mac or Windows, we provide support for both platforms, ensuring that students are with us.**

**The Python installation process is outlined below.** 

Please download the appropriate version based on your operating system. If you are using Windows, download the '<mark style="color:orange;">Python Installation on Windows</mark>' document, and if you are on a Mac, download the '<mark style="color:orange;">Python Installation on Mac</mark>' document. Both documents are designed to guide you step by step, ensuring that you can follow along even if you are unable to attend classes or watch instructional videos. Of course, if you are a participant in the class, you'll have the opportunity to address any potential issues during the installation process.
