<p><em>The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_World!%22_program" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_World!%22_program">“hello world program”</a> is used in programming languages to set up a <strong>minimal programming environment</strong> and <strong>execute the first trivial program</strong> in it. It helps you get your environment going and take your first steps towards a more complicated program. This short tutorial will show you the fastest possible way to write your first hello world program — as a <a href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-one-line-x/" title="Python One Line X" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Python one-liner</a>! </em></p>
<p>Before I show you how to install Python on your computer, follow the following steps to run your first Python <code>"hello world"</code> program in your browser!</p>
<h2>Run Your Hello World One-Liner in Your Browser Shell</h2>
<p><strong>Step 1: </strong>Here’s an interactive browser-based shell:</p>
<p> <iframe src="https://trinket.io/embed/python/3efcbe93b7" width="100%" height="356" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </p>
<p>The shell runs any Python program in your browser. </p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Type the print function in your browser shell with opening and closing parentheses that are initially empty:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">print()</pre>
<p>The <code><a href="https://blog.finxter.com/the-separator-and-end-arguments-of-the-python-print-function/" title="Python Print Function [And Its SECRET Separator & End Arguments]" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">print()</a></code> function takes a string and prints it to your shell. This way, you can generate outputs in your program. Think about it: a Python program is only a means to an end. It transform an input to an output. One way of creating an output is to print program values to the shell. In our hello world one-liner, the output is the textual data (=string) <code>'hello world'</code>. </p>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong>: Pass the <code>'hello world'</code> string into the <code>print()</code> function between the parentheses.</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">print('hello world')</pre>
<p>Congratulations, your first hello world one-liner is ready! Now, there’s only one thing left: </p>
<p><strong>Step 4</strong>: Run the hello world one-liner program by hitting the “Run” symbol <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/25b6.png" alt="▶" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />. </p>
<p>Can you see the output generated by your program? When running your program in the interactive shell, the result should be the following output:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">hello world</pre>
<p>Make sure that you see this output in your shell before you move on!</p>
<h2>Install Python on Your Computer</h2>
<p>Now, you know how to run your first program. If you want to start your first serious project though, you’ll need Python on your local machine.</p>
<p>Follow these seven steps to install Python on your computer (Windows):</p>
<ol>
<li>Visit website <strong>“Python Releases for Windows”</strong>: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/" target="_blank">https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/</a></li>
<li>Click link <strong>“Download Windows x86-64 executable installer”</strong> under “Stable Releases” header.</li>
<li>A popup opens. Click <strong>“Save File”</strong>.</li>
<li>Wait until the download completes and double <strong>click on the installer file</strong> to run it.</li>
<li>Another popup appears. Select <strong>“Add Python to Path”</strong> and click <strong>“Install Now”</strong>.</li>
<li>Wait until the <strong>installation completes</strong> “Setup was successful”.</li>
<li>You can now use Python on your Windows computer: use the <strong>Windows Search for “IDLE”</strong> and open the standard Python editor to <strong>start coding</strong>.</li>
</ol>
<p>The steps are almost identical for MacOS and Linux, you can figure them out easily. In this video, I’ll guide you through the process in a step-by-step manner:</p>
