How to install Python on your machine
As with most Linux distributions, Python comes installed by default. Despite that, the installed version could be different with the one that you need or some packages may not be installed.
From Python's organization webpage (<a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/">python.org</a>) you can download the latest .pkg file. After that, just open the file and follow the instructions. This will also install the basic packages.
You can download it from <a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/">here</a>.
The easiest way to install a package is using the pip option in Terminal. If you are using Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4 and installed it from the <a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/">python.org</a> webpage, you already have it installed.
To install a package just open Terminal and type:
pip install packageName
Where packageName is the name of the package that you want to install. You can see the full list of available packages from <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=browse">here</a>.
