How to Install Python on Ubuntu

Dan Uff May 18, 2024 0 1

Ubuntu is a Linux based operating system used by some small and large companies around the world. Unlike other operating systems, it's free to download and use.

Since I have been learning and using Python for the past few weeks, some people have asked if they could install and use Python on other operating systems other than Mac and Windows. After doing some research, the answer is YES. This article will show you how to install and use Python on Ubuntu.

In order to do this, you must find and be comfortable with using the Terminal Command Line. If this is scaring you, don't worry, I'll walk you through the steps.

How to INSTALL Python on Ubuntu:

Find the Terminal icon and then double click it.
A window will open up.
Type in: sudo apt install software-properties-common.
Type in: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa to download a file from the repository.
Type in: sudo apt install python[version-name]
That's it.

How to RUN Python on Ubuntu:

Open a Terminal Window.
Type: python
This will open the Python interactive window.
That's it.

Apple’s new Magic Keyboard will make you want an M4 iPad Pro

CompuScoop Staff May 17, 2024 0 1

Apple’s all-new thinner and lighter Magic Keyboard for the M4 iPad Pro includes a function row for quick access to convenient features like screen brightness, and a gorgeous aluminum palm rest and larger trackpad that’s even more responsive with haptic feedback — so the entire experience feels just like using MacBook. It’s so good, it’ll make you want to upgrade to an M4 iPad Pro.

Whether you’re coming from a 2018 iPad Pro like me, or a newer M-class iPad, there are plenty of great reasons to upgrade to the new iPad Pro. The OLED display can’t be beat; the M4 chip is unmatched in Apple’s lineup; and on a lesser note, there’s even a color-matched USB-C cable with the space black model.

The upgrade incentive I didn’t really expect, but that’s hitting me hardest today, is just how much better the new Magic Keyboard is than its predecessor.

If you’re in the market for a new iPad, don’t sleep on the niceties offered by the new Magic Keyboard.
