Installing Python by default

1. Linux

Generally, Python is already installed with Linux distributions but sometimes not. In that case you have to install Python:

sudo apt-get install python

At the end, you should access to Python by the command python3:

python3

Netherveless, we recommand to install also Python embeded in :ref:`Anaconda<anaconda_install>`. With Anaconda the access to Python is the command python (not python3). Anyway, in this documentation, all calls of Python aunder Linux are written with python3. Please adapt the syntax when you use Python via :ref:`Anaconda<anaconda_install>`.

1. Windows

Normally, Python is not installed with Windows distributions We recommand to install Python embeded in :ref:`Anaconda<anaconda_install>`.
