Can your run your code and have your results show in console like in R? If that's possible, why are you using the command line? I don't know much about Python :)

I have watched so many videos about how to do this on Mac but when I use the installer it asks me "install for all users of this computer", or "install on a specific disk", when I click on install on a specific disk it then asks me for a folder selection, should I just select 'users/myname' and then click continue? I do not want to install this system wide b/c that does not make sense, so what should the ideal folder selection be?
