### **Step 1: Install Python**
First, check if Python is already installed on your iMac. Open your **Terminal** and type:
```bash
python3 — version
```
If it’s installed, you’ll see a version like `Python 3.x.x`. If not, [download and install Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/).

### **Step 2: Install Homebrew (if you don’t have it)**
Homebrew helps you manage installations on macOS. If you don’t already have Homebrew installed, use this command to install it:
```bash
/bin/bash -c “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
```

Once Homebrew is installed, use it to ensure your Python and other tools are up-to-date.
