I was told that Python is already installed on most Linux versions. Where can I find this program? I had a look on my Linux version but I didn\'t find anything.
:confused:

Hi,

Yes, most likely your Linux distro came with Python. It is probably in /usr/local/lib/python , /usr/local/lib/pythonx.x , /usr/lib/python , /usr/lib/pythonx.x or like that. From command line you can run

Code: [Select]

locate python
To find all locations with thr term python in them.

Hi,
I tried actually to locate Python already but \'locate\' doesn\'t seem to work ==> I tried to write \'locate python\' in the shell-konsole and also in the comand line. In the shell-konsole nothing happend and in the comand line I was told the it\'s impossible to execute the comand...
Beginners life is quite hard...

This could be due to one of two things.

A) You may need to be logged in as root user to access the slocate database (the locate function)

B) Depending on which distro you are using, slocate may not have come already installed, so you would need to install it.[indent]If you are using a distro that supports updates/installs via RPM (RedHat, CentOS, Fedora, etc.) you can use a command like "rpm -Uvh slocate". If you use YUM you can use a command like "yum install slocate".

[/indent]I hope this information will help you.
