Re: [Tutor] Need help in learning Python
I am also from a Linux background and I second exactly what James and David said. To learn Ubuntu, I would recommend installing Windows Subsystem for Linux onto your existing Windows 10 setup and then get the Ubuntu (or SUSE and Debian) from the Microsoft store and install. It does have a few limitations (especially on the GUI) but again which proper Linux Sysadmin uses the GUI :) Its quite simple to install as you add it via the "Windows Features" and click on "Windows Subsystem for Linux" This is an easy way to have Linux at your beck and call just by invoking the OS by typing a command into the run command cmd Unless of course you don't mind dual booting your laptop or have another laptop/PC close by :) Cheers *Wallis Short* Senior Network Engineer <http://metrofibre.co.za/> Metro Fibre Networx (Pty) Ltd www.metrofibre.co.za 298 Witch-Hazel Ave, Highveld, Centurion, Gauteng, 0157 South Africa <https://maps.google.com/?q=298+Witch-Hazel+Ave,+Highveld,+Centurion,+Gauteng,+0157+South+Africa&entry=gmail&source=g> On 12 August 2018 at 18:51, Mats Wichmann wrote: > > > Start with checking that pip is there (or installing it if not) > > Then do PyGae > > Then do Matplotlib > > For this, please note that the pip "command" is not in the same > directory on Windows as the python it is associated with.
