## Python

The interpreter, needed to run any python program.

|
|
### MacOS / Linux / BSD

Install the newest python available from your package manager.

It might come with the python installation.

||
|
|
Try
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
python3 -m pip install <package name>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
If not, try installing it from wsl.
|

|
|
|

If all else fails, it probably includes running random binary scripts as administrator, good luck.
