invoking python in Terminal - Euler - Aug-24-2023
I am new to python and I want to use the matlab2python converter to help me learn it. I installed Python 3.11.5 using the installer at:
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.5/python-3.11.5-macos11.pkg
After doing so, I was hoping to invoke python in the Terminal on macOS, but I get the error:
zsh: command not found: python
when I try anything with the command python.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

I never has a computer with MacOS, so I can't speak from experience.
To try out code it's probably best to use an IDE. Python comes with it's own IDE, called Idle.
Here is a link on how to do that: LINKME
