Installing Bit

The first part of our course will use a graphical library called Bit. This will make learning to program easy and fun.

To use Bit, you need to install the byubit library. Open PyCharm select:

  • Windows: File ➡️ Settings
  • MacOS: PyCharm ➡️ Preferences

Then select Project and Python Interpreter. The settings/preferences window should look like this:
