1 00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:03,390 Hey, welcome back to 100 Days of Code. 2 00:00:03,990 --> 00:00:11,090 This is Angela from the App Brewery, and today is day 15 where we're going to set up our local development 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,780 environment for Python and we're going to be building a Coffee Machine project. 4 00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:17,850 So when we designed the course, 5 00:00:17,850 --> 00:00:23,390 we really wanted you to get up and running as fast as possible and start coding straight away. 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:30,150 But as our project gets more and more complex, then it's really important to start thinking about setting 7 00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:32,250 up a proper development environment. 8 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,760 Now, if you were a chef, then you need really sharp knives. And as a programmer, you need a good development 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:39,440 environment. 10 00:00:39,660 --> 00:00:43,680 In today's lesson, I'm going to show you how to set up my favorite IDE, 11 00:00:44,220 --> 00:00:48,000 and the IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. 12 00:00:48,690 --> 00:00:53,430 This is a piece of software that will help you as you're creating your code, 13 00:00:53,730 --> 00:00:59,550 and it's going to do a whole bunch of things for you including things like linting your code, finding 14 00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:06,270 errors in it, giving you guidance on your coding style, helping you debug issues, just making life 15 00:01:06,270 --> 00:01:09,630 easier for you as you start writing more and more code. 16 00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:14,120 This is the moment where you're graduating from a newbie developer. 17 00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:20,280 It's like as if you've gone into the mountains, you've fetched water for this old sensei for like 20 18 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,310 years and finally he's going to show you how to use a sword. 19 00:01:24,030 --> 00:01:27,030 This is going to be the equivalent of our sword. 20 00:01:27,630 --> 00:01:32,400 Now, in terms of development environment, there's actually a whole bunch to choose from. 21 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,340 And you might have heard of some of these like Jupiter or Spider, 22 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:36,640 VS 23 00:01:36,660 --> 00:01:40,200 Code and some of them we've already used like Thonny. 24 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,910 But the one that we're going to use is something called PyCharm. 25 00:01:45,330 --> 00:01:51,510 And this is an Intelligent Development Environment, an IDE, that is specialized for Python. 26 00:01:52,020 --> 00:01:58,590 The tool has been sharpened especially for python coding, and it's what the professionals use. In 27 00:01:58,590 --> 00:01:59,520 the coming lessons, 28 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,860 we're going to get really familiar with this tool. 29 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:08,389 And gradually, I want to show you how it can help you become a better and more productive developer. 30 00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:14,820 But before we can get started installing PyCharm, we first have to get the latest version of Python 31 00:02:15,090 --> 00:02:17,220 installed on your computer. 32 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:25,110 In the course resources, you can go ahead and find the download link for Python. Then once you're 33 00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:29,230 there, it should automatically detect your current operating system. 34 00:02:29,790 --> 00:02:36,840 So here I am on Windows and it says download the latest version for Windows. And then if you click on 35 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,250 the big download button, it'll ensure that you get the latest version of Python. 36 00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:46,260 Now, it's actually a very small file, so it shouldn't take very long to download. 37 00:02:47,070 --> 00:02:51,510 And once it's complete, go ahead and open up that .exe file. 38 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:59,760 Now, go ahead and make sure that the checkbox for Add Python 3.8 to Path is checked and 39 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,890 then leave everything else as it is 40 00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:08,740 and click on Install now. And make sure that you have admin privileges while you're installing 41 00:03:09,390 --> 00:03:15,870 so you have to be logged on as the administrator. And say yes to any of the prompts. 42 00:03:16,140 --> 00:03:22,590 Now, installation should only take a few minutes. And once it's done, you might get a hint here saying 43 00:03:22,590 --> 00:03:25,260 "Disable path length limit." 44 00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:28,710 If you see that, then go ahead and click on it. 45 00:03:30,540 --> 00:03:37,610 And again, say yes for allow. And then you're done and you can close off the wizard. If you're on a Mac, 46 00:03:37,650 --> 00:03:39,840 the process is virtually identical. 47 00:03:40,290 --> 00:03:46,860 Once you head over to the link from the course resources, you should see it automatically, let's you download 48 00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:48,330 the latest version for Mac. 49 00:03:48,870 --> 00:03:53,520 And once the download is complete, you can go through the wizard clicking 50 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:59,280 continue agreeing to everything that they ask you to agree and click install. 51 00:04:00,350 --> 00:04:06,200 And again, you'll need to be on the administrator account and type in your password to allow Python 52 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:13,430 to be installed on your computer. Once installation is completed, it should open up this folder and 53 00:04:13,430 --> 00:04:19,100 you should see Python 3.8 or a later version like 3.9 or 3.10. 54 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:25,250 But as long as you see this, then you've been successful and you can delete the installer from your 55 00:04:25,250 --> 00:04:25,890 computer. 56 00:04:26,570 --> 00:04:32,990 So now you should have successfully installed Python onto your computer, and we're ready to proceed to 57 00:04:32,990 --> 00:04:36,050 the next step. Head over to the next lesson 58 00:04:36,050 --> 00:04:38,330 and we're going to download and install PyCharm.
