The Easiest Way To Get Started on Python
If you've ever tried to set up your own Pythonic development environment, you've probably ran into issues. Python has all kinds of dependencies. It's even more frustrating to get the modules that you need.
I know, I've been there! Finally, I learned that there is a better way.
That better way is: Anaconda Navigator.
Anaconda Navigator is a program that installs not only Python, but hundreds of the most popular Python modules. This makes getting your development environment up and running so much easier.
If you've already installed Python and are running into one of the seemingly endless errors, like a path error, then here's my recommendation: uninstall Python and install Anaconda. You'll be writing Python code in no time.

Anaconda Installation Tips:
- Make sure that you've uninstalled Python as installing both could cause errors.
- Close all terminals (bash, cmd or terminal) whenever you're checking if something has been installed. Keeping these open can make you think something isn't working when in fact it is.
