Installing Python- For Windows and macOS: Bellingcat Tech Series

Developers like the Bellingcat Investigative Tech Team offer plenty of amazing publicly available research tools, such as applications you can use to analyse TikTok hashtags or connect Telegram accounts to phone numbers. These resources can be very useful for journalists and non-technical researchers but might require some technical skills to access. This series aims to introduce you to some of those basics. In this episode we talk you through the installation of Python and explain how you can use it to access our tools.
