How to Install Python on Mac | Install Python on macOS (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5) (Apple Silicon Chip)
Installing Python on a Mac with Apple Silicon chips like M1, M2, M3, M4, or M5 is a crucial first step if you want to start programming, data analysis, automation, web development, or machine learning. In this complete step-by-step tutorial, you’ll learn how to correctly install Python on macOS running on Apple Silicon, even if you are an absolute beginner with no prior coding experience.
macOS often comes with a pre-installed version of Python, but this version is mainly for system use and is not recommended for development. In this video, we show you the best and safest way to install the latest stable version of Python specifically optimized for Apple Silicon Macs. You’ll learn how to download Python from the official Python website, install it properly on macOS, and verify the installation using the Terminal.
This tutorial is designed for MacBooks and iMacs powered by Apple Silicon chips, including M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5. We also explain common issues Apple Silicon users face, such as command not found errors, PATH configuration problems, and confusion between system Python and user-installed Python. You’ll clearly understand how Python works on macOS and how to make sure your Mac always uses the correct Python version.
In addition, this video covers how to check your Python version, run your first Python command, and confirm that pip (Python’s package manager) is installed correctly. These steps are essential if you plan to install popular Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, TensorFlow, or frameworks like Django and Flask.
By the end of this tutorial, you will have Python successfully installed on your Apple Silicon Mac and be fully ready to start learning Python programming or working on real-world projects. This guide is perfect for students, beginners, developers, data analysts, and anyone starting their Python journey on macOS.
