Python is relatively easy to install onto your machine - it's 3 steps! This will allow you to be able to write Python code in the command line.
1. Visit https://www.python.org/downloads/ and download the most recent version of Python. At the time of writing, Python 3.6.3 is the most recent version. This will download the installer.
2. Open the installer and check the two boxes at the bottom of the screen (as shown). Double check and ensure that the bottom box is checked. Once finished, hit "install now".
3. Once you are finished, open up Command Prompt and type in python. If installed correctly, you should get something similar to this:
And there you have it! You are now able to write Python code in command prompt.
If you want some kind of software to be able to code in Python, I recommend downloading Anaconda.
