It depends on what operating system you are running. Most will have some sort of package manager to make it easy. Ubuntu has apt-get, Red Hat has yum, OSX has brew, Windows can be installed via GUI.

Here's a Treehouse video: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/setting-up-a-local-python-environment-mac. If you want more information search for "install python3 (insert your operating system)" and post with a more specific problem.

If you are not comfortable with anything mentioned above, you can just use the "Workspaces" that Treehouse provides. It's simple and you don't have to deal with the headache of installing.
