Installing Python on a Mac is relatively easy. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it:

Open the terminal on your Mac by searching for “Terminal” in Spotlight or by going to Applications > Utilities > Terminal.

Check if Python is installed by running the command:

python3 -V

This command will display the Python version currently installed on your system. If Python is not installed, you will see a message saying the command was not found.

If Python is not installed, install it by running the command

brew install python3. 

This command will install the latest version of Python on your system using the Homebrew package manager.

To verify that Python has been installed successfully, run the command python3 -V again.

python3 -V

This time, you should see the version of Python that you just installed.

To start using Python, you can run the command python3 to start the Python interpreter. This will give you a prompt where you can start entering Python commands.

To exit the Python interpreter, type exit() or ctrl+d

Note: The above instructions assume that you have the Homebrew package manager installed on your mac, if not please install it by following the instructions on the website https://brew.sh/

Additionally, you can also install python via the official python website by downloading the installer package and running it.
