Hi Niurkav1,


Welcome aboard!  Let's do a quick check to see if Python is already
installed on your Linux system.  Try:

    $ which python

at your command prompt line, and tell us how your system responds to this.


If you have Python installed, then you're all set!  If you're running a
Red Hat-based system, for example, since it comes installed by default,
you shouldn't need to do anything else to install Python.

If not, you may need to do a little more work, but it's not too difficult:
most Python distributions comes with a package-management system to ease
installation difficulties.


If you're trying to learn how to use Python, you may want to look at the
Beginners Guide to Python:

Talk to you later!
