Python for Linux

Most Linux distributions, including Ubuntu and even the Linux OS

that comes installed on the Raspberry Pi, come with an earlier ver-

sion of Python already installed. However, most of the apps in this

book require Python 3. To install Python 3 on Linux, follow these

steps:

1. In the Dash menu, go to System Tools and run the Ubuntu
   Software Center or similar application for your version of
   Linux. Figure A-23 shows the Software Center running on
   Lubuntu.
