Question

Can I do this course with my Raspberry Pi - what do i need to do to get it ready?

Answer 1

Hi

This basically a little computer with a Linux system, is that right?

Most Linux distros have Python included already, so maybe u are good to go?

Probably you just type python in a terminal, something like that, I haven't used Linux in a while.

I'm sure a Linux user will show up and clarify matters if this doesn't help at all.

Answer 2

Linux typically includes python with the distro, however if you don't have it by default you will want to check out :

Python's website: http://www.python.org/download/releases/
Installation Tutorial for seeral distros: http://www.unixmen.com/howto-install-python-3-x-in-ubuntu-debian-fedora-centos/

Answer 3

Great!

I guess those instructions will also work for 2.7.3 as well.

Answer 4

I have a Raspberry Pi too. You could do the programming on the pi but to do things like watch the MIT videos or do any really GUI things, you need more power.
