1. Xcode: Apples Development environment that feature a bunch of dev tools (including swift) and an IDE. Install from here.
2. Python: I am running Mac OS X Yosemite, so it is already installed with python version 2.7.10, which is the latest in the 2.x trail and is more than sufficient for what I'm doing. I may consider upgrading to 3.x later, but good for now.
4. Macports: Is an open source initiative that makes it easy to install open source code in the Mac OS X environment: Download and install from here.
3. Pip: Pip is the PyPa recommended tool for installing Python Packages.
If you are running python version 2.9 or newer, you will already have pip by default. check by typing “pip” at the command line. If you don’t already have pip, follow these steps to install:
1. Copy code from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py into your local file
Anils-MacBook-Air:Python anilmurty$ touch get-pip.py
Anils-MacBook-Air:Python anilmurty$ tw get-pip.py
Anils-MacBook-Air:Python anilmurty$ tw get-pip.py
Anils-MacBook-Air:Python anilmurty$
2. Install as follows:
Anils-MacBook-Air:Python anilmurty$ sudo python get-pip.py
