Here are the tools used to learn Python:

1. Python
2. PyCharm
3. Git

Let’s discuss them one by one:

1. Python

I have written an article on how to install Python on Windows. You can go directly to the official download page python.org or follow the step-by-step guide I wrote here.

2. PyCharm

Next, we need to download an IDE to write our Python code. The IDE I recommend is PyCharm, and the Community Edition is sufficient. Here is why i use PyCharm. Download it here. After downloading, open the installation file and run it until the installation is complete.

3. Git

One day, we might want to share the code we write or even work professionally with Python. Therefore, we need a proper way to share our code. One way is by using Git. Open the PyCharm you installed, and select “Get from VCS.”

If you have never installed Git before, there will be a section highlighted where you can find a link to download Git. Click to download and install Git. Wait until it finishes.

Once done, we will move on to Day 2.
