Run the .exe installer by clicking on it (Depending on your security settings, the UAC (User Account Control) prompt may come up. Hit allow.)

Follow the installer instructions until Python 3 is installed.

Once the installer finishes, Python 3 is now installed and ready to use.

macOS

Debian Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS tested)

Open the terminal or use Ctrl+Alt+T

Accept any prompts, if any.

Allow installation to continue (Do not close the terminal while Python is installing.)

Mobile Systems (Phones and Tablets)

On iPhones and iPads, Pyto and Pythonista 3 are some of the best free and paid apps that work well.

On Android devices, Pydroid 3 is the best app that works.

In general, Replit (https://www.replit.com) is the best one with no ads and runs in almost all web browsers.
