When I was writing this article, already python2 version 2.7.18 was & python3 3.10.4 version(stable) was released.

Here, I am going to provide commands only related python3. the reason behind this is simple as python3 is latest and is forward compatible.

1. Install Xcode:

Install Xcode command line tools(integrated development environment), it contains tools that Homebrew needs to function properly.

you need to execute below command in terminal to install Xcode ( shortcut to open terminal is command+space and then type Terminal)

xcode-select --install

Click install on the prompt is open & accept the Agreement to get it installed on your machine.

2. Install homebrew:

you need to execute below command on terminal to install homebrew.

/bin/bash -c “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

you may read more about the command on https://brew.sh

3. Install python3:

Once you have brew installed on your machine. Simply hit below command to install python3 on your machine

brew install python3

and you are done !!!
