How To Install Python idle IDE On Linux Operating System

To install the Python IDLE Integrated Development Environment (IDE) on a Linux operating system, you can use the package manager of your Linux distribution. Here are the commands for a few popular Linux distributions:

On Fedora:

sudo dnf install python3-tools

On CentOS/RHEL:

sudo yum install python3

On Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt-get install idle3

Once the installation is complete, you can start the IDLE IDE by typing idle3 in the terminal. This will open the IDLE IDE for Python 3, which you can use for writing and executing Python code.

If you have multiple versions of Python installed on your system, you can specify which version of IDLE to launch by using the appropriate command, such as idle for Python 2 or idle3 for Python 3.
