Raspberry Pi OS and other Linux (Debian-based) distributions

Most distributions of Linux come with Python 3 already installed, but they might not have IDLE, the default IDE (interactive development environment), installed.

Use apt to check whether they are installed and install them if they aren’t.

Open a terminal window and type:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 idle3

This will install Python 3 (and IDLE), and you should then be able to find it in your Application menu.
