To install the Python IDLE Integrated Development Environment (IDE) on a Linux operating system, you can use the package manager to install the idle
package.
On Debian or Ubuntu systems, you can use apt
to install the idle
package:
sudo apt install idleSource:www.lautturi.com
On CentOS, Fedora, or Red Hat systems, you can use yum
or dnf
to install the python3-tools
package, which includes the idle3
command:
sudo yum install python3-tools
On other systems, you may need to use a different package manager or install the idle
package from the package repository.
Once the idle
package is installed, you can launch the IDLE IDE by running the idle
command:
idle
This will open the IDLE IDE in a new window. You can then use IDLE to write and run Python scripts.
Keep in mind that the idle
command is for Python 2, while the idle3
command is for Python 3. Make sure to use the correct command based on the version of Python that you are using.
