# Run Python

Okay, here's the fun part!

Now that you have a Python environment setup. Get ready to jump into the Python world.

The easiest way to load Python on your system is to go the **Terminal window** and run the following command:

`Python`

The window should throw a summary of the Python version you are running and a bunch of other details for help, copyright and credits etc.

You're set.

Just start working your way up by welcoming yourself to the Python world:

`print("Hello world!")`

But...! Yes, there is a but! If you want more than basic flavor of Python you should install popular packages and libraries such as Numpy and Scipy. This can be done using a package installer - pip which we talk about in another section.

Also, if you want to quit Python from the terminal window. Use `exit() or Ctrl-D`
