How best to install easygraphics

[Barry_Uk]

Hi Snippsat,
Here's an update of what I've been doing.

1. Ran % xcode-select --install
returns with: "xcode-select:note install request for command line developer tools"

It fires up a small window showing a small blue globe and start downloading something.
After about 10mins finishes with the message "The software was installed"

I now believe I have GCC installed because of the following:
~ % GCC --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple clang version 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.29)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.4.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

2. Went to https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/
found latest version (Python 3.8.2 Feb24,2020) and downloaded its macos 64 bit installer
which is a package called "Python-3.8.2-macosx10.9.pkg"

When I click on this I get the following message:

"This package will install Python 3.8.2 for macOS 10.9 or later.

Python for macOS consists of the Python programming language interpreter and its batteries-included standard library to allow easy access to macOS features. It also includes the Python integrated development environment, IDLE. You can also use the included pip to download and install third-party packages from the Python Package Index.

At the end of this install, click on Install Certificates to install a set of current SSL root certificates."

Do you think it's worth trying to install Python and pip from this package before or instead of trying the Homebrew route ?

Thanks again
