Python
Before you can go any farther, you need Python.

If you are using a Mac with a recent version of OS X, you should have Python already.

Open the Terminal, type into the command prompt "python" and hit "enter."

This should open up Python.

To see Python do its thing type:
print 'hello world' (and hit Enter)

This will return "Hello World" in the prompt.

To quit Python hit "control-D".

If you don't have Python, you can go download it here and install it by following the instructions listed.
