Getting Started / Prerequisites

Before running LingoCode, you'll need to make sure Python 3 is installed on your computer. Python comes with pip, which LingoCode uses to automatically install any extra libraries your generated code might need.

1. Download Python: Visit the official Python website and download the latest installer for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
2. Install: During installation, make sure to check the box that says "Add Python to PATH" (or similar wording on your system). This is crucial for running LingoCode from your terminal!
3. Verify: Open your terminal or command prompt and run:

   python --version pip --version 

   You should see the version numbers for both, confirming they are ready!

Troubleshooting Installation

If you encounter an error (like "command not found") when running the verification commands, try these common fixes:

• Try python3 instead of python: On some systems (especially macOS and Linux), the command for Python 3 is python3. Try running:

  python3 --version 

• Reinstall and check PATH: If python3 doesn't work, uninstall Python and reinstall it, making absolutely sure the "Add Python to PATH" box is checked during the setup process.
• Windows pip path: If python --version works but pip --version doesn't, you might need to use the full path to run pip:

  python -m pip --version 

  If this works, you can use python -m pip install <package> for LingoCode's dependencies.
