okay, let's get nltk installed on your mac! this guide is designed for beginners, walking you through each step with clear explanations and code examples.

*prerequisites:*

*python:* nltk requires python. most macs come with python pre-installed, but it's usually an older version (python 2). we strongly recommend using python 3. we'll verify and potentially install/upgrade python.
*terminal:* you'll be using the terminal application (found in /applications/utilities/) for several commands. don't be intimidated! it's just a way to interact with your computer using text commands.

*step-by-step installation guide:*

*1. verify python installation (and install/update if needed):*

*open terminal:* launch the terminal application.

*check for python 3:* type the following command and press enter:

*install/update python 3 (if needed):* the easiest way to install python 3 on a mac is using homebrew. homebrew is a package manager for macos, which simplifies installing software.

*install homebrew (if you don't have it):* open terminal and run the following command. it will prompt you for your password:

restart your terminal after this.

*install python 3 using homebrew:* once homebrew is installed, run this command:
