Thonny is a Python IDE for beginners and comes with Python 3 built in.

1. Download Thonny:
   Go to https://thonny.org/ and choose the correct version for your operating system.
   
2. Open Thonny:
   Launch Thonny and a blank editor window will appear.
   
3. Install from PyPI (pip):
   Click Tools → Manage Packages to open the Package Manager.
   
4. Search and Install MediaLib:
   Search for "MediaLib", press "Search on PyPI", then click "Install".
   
5. Start Coding:
   Add from medialib import * to start coding.

MU Editor is the easiest way to get started because pygame is included by default. However, it is more difficult to work with other libraries such as Pandas.

1. Download MU Editor:
   Go to https://codewith.mu/en/download and choose the correct version for your operating system. This will install python 3 and pygame. Detailed instructions of how to install each version can also be found on the page.
   
2. Launch MU Editor:
   Open MU Editor (may take a few minutes first time) and choose "Python 3" mode. Pygame is automatically included.
   
3. Install MediaLib:
   Click the gear icon in the bottom right → "MU Administration" → "Third Party Packages" → Type "medialib".
   
4. Start Coding:
   Add from medialib import * or import medialib at the top of your program and press Run.
   
5. Run your project:
   Press 'Run' to run your project and pygame will open in another window.
   

1. Download Anaconda:
   Go to https://www.anaconda.com/ and choose your operating system.
   Installation guides: Windows | macOS/Linux
   
2. Install MediaLib:
   Open Anaconda Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (macOS) and run one of the following commands to install MediaLib:
   pip install medialib
pip install -U medialib --user
python -m pip install medialib pygame
   
   If you encounter issues here, you may install Medialib directly from a Jupyter Notebook later using %pip install medialib (Step 5).
3. Launch Jupyter:
   Open Anaconda Navigator and choose to launch (or install) a Jupyter Notebook.
   
4. Create New Notebook:
   A browser window will open. Navigate to where you want to save your project. Press "New" and create a new python 3 notebook.
   
5. Start Coding:
   Add from medialib import * in the first cell to add MediaLib to the project.
   Note: If you were unable to install MediaLib in Step 2, you can run %pip install medialib in a cell above your code to install it directly from the notebook. This only needs to be done the first time using MediaLib in this environment.
   
6. Run your project:
   Press 'Run' to run your project and pygame will open in another window.
