Instructions to Install Python

There are two (2) setups for python

i. Online Setup
ii. Physical Setup

Online Setup
The online setup simply means that for you to run python, you have to run it from your web
browser. It also means that you will need an internet connection to run it. To setup python online,
do the following steps:

i. Go to your web browser and paste this link “https://replit.com”


The following webpage should open

ii. Click the button “Start building”, highlighted in the image above
After doing this the following screen should pop up
You can then proceed to sign up using your Gmail account by clicking “Continue with Google”
(highlighted in red in the image above ) or to create a unique email address and password with
“Continue with email” (highlighted in green in the image above)

Next you will see a page that looks like this


Do not worry if you’re stuck on this screen for a while the account is still loading after which
you will see the following screen.

iii. Now you have to make three (3) choices.


The first choice is to check if your username is comfortable with you. Replit assigns you a
unique username, however, if you do not like this username, you can change it by selecting the
pen icon that is highlighted with red. The name beside it is your username. Edit it to a unique
username if it you don’t like the automatic username you are assigned.

The second choice is your software creation experience. It is assumed that you are all beginners
so pick the option “Beginner” highlighted in green. If this is not the case for you, feel free to pick
any other choice that best matches your programming experience.

The last choice is “where do you plan to use Replit?”. For now, this account is for personal use
so select the option that is highlighted in blue. Your final screen should look like the following
image.
iv. Now after filling the options click on “Start building” as highlighted in the image above.
v. Next you will see a screen asking you for a project you wish to build.
The screen is shown below

Select Python.
vi. Edit Project name and details
Once you have selected python, another screen pops up showing the details of the python project
it is about to create for you

The name of the project is shown in the part highlighted in orange. Feel free to edit it to whatever
name you like.

The description of the project is shown in the part highlighted in green. Feel free to edit it to
whatever you feel like.

This is a sample from my own choice:


Once you have finished click the option “Use Template” as shown by the arrow in the image
above.

The following screen should pop up after you click on the option

After this the following screen is displayed as well


I advise you to take the tour as shown in the green highlighted box in the image above. Click on
next and read the explanations presented. Once you are done, that is you see the following screen

Click “Done”.

Now you can start writing code in the code editor section as shown in the image below
Now click on “Run” as marked by the orange arrow in the image above. You will get the
following result.
The output of the program is shown in the part that is highlighted with the orange box. The text
“I am a boy” displays in that region.

In Replit, when you click “Run” only the file “main.py” is run. So, if you wish to run codes in
another file, you will have to create a new project.

vii. To create a new project


Locate the icon highlighted by the orange box as seen in the image below
Now click on that icon, the following screen should pop up

Click on the button “Create” as marked by the orange arrow shown above. The following screen
pops up.
Once again select Python as shown in by the orange arrow in the image above. You should see
the following screen

Now you can change the name of the new project by editing the items that are highlighted by the
green arrow in the image above. A sample is as follows
Now after that click the option “Create Repl”. After this, the following screen appears just like
last time.

Followed by this screen


And you can start writing new code afresh from inside this code editor.
