Overview
In this tutorial, we will install Python IDE on a Linux machine. We will use the Ubuntu Linux distribution.
IDLE is the Integrated Development and Learning Environment for Python, and it’s a basic editor and interpreter environment that is included with the standard Python installation.

Follow the below steps to install Python IDLE on Ubuntu Linux.
Launch the Terminal window.
You can search for ‘Terminal’ in the Applications menu. The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + Alt + T
Update Package Lists
Before installing new software, updating your package lists is a good practice. Run the following command in the terminal:
$ sudo apt-get update
