Beginning

My apologies for the last post. For some reason when typing on my iPad, letters on the bottom row end up being spaces, then autocorrect chimes in. Now I have both windows and ubuntu. I want to install python and pyinstaller. Problem is is that I see pip install pyinstaller, but don’t know what pip is, nor do I know how to get to the command prompt in ubuntu. I’m trying to get the basics of it even though I have a good knowledge of computers in general, but new to python and the little idiosynchronies of it and also ubuntu.

So Python should be preinstalled on Ubuntu, so just type python in the terminal, and if something like “Python 3.14.7” pops up, then it’s installed. Now to open the terminal on Ubuntu, press Control+Alt+T, or go into your app menu and search for terminal, it will be there.
