To run Python programs, you need to follow these steps:

1. Install Python: Ensure that you have Python installed on your computer. You can download the latest version of Python from the official website (https://www.python.org/downloads/). Download and install the appropriate version for your operating system.

2. Code Editor/IDE: Choose a code editor or an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to write your Python code. Some popular options are Visual Studio Code, PyCharm, Atom, Sublime Text, or IDLE (comes bundled with Python).

3. Write Your Python Code: Open your chosen code editor or IDE and write the Python code you want to run. Save the file with a .py extension. For example, you can create a file named my_script.py.

4. Running Python in Terminal/Command Prompt:

   • Windows: Open the Command Prompt (cmd.exe) or PowerShell and navigate to the directory where your Python script is saved. You can use the cd command to change directories. For example:

     bashCopy code

     cd C:\path\to\your\script\directory

     Once you are in the right directory, execute the script by typing:

     Copy code

     python my_script.py

   • Linux/macOS: Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where your Python script is saved using the cd command. For example:

     bashCopy code

     cd /path/to/your/script/directory

     Run the script by typing:

     Copy code

     python3 my_script.py

   Note: In some systems, you might need to use python instead of python3. Check your system configuration to see which version is set as the default.

5. Running Python in IDE: If you are using an IDE like PyCharm, Visual Studio Code,
