Hi Niurkav1,
Welcome aboard! Let's do a quick check to see if Python is already
installed on your Linux system. Try:
$ which python
at your command prompt line, and tell us how your system responds to this.
If you have Python installed, then you're all set! If you're running a
Red Hat-based system, for example, since it comes installed by default,
you shouldn't need to do anything else to install Python.
If not, you may need to do a little more work, but it's not too difficult:
most Python distributions comes with a package-management system to ease
installation difficulties.
If you're trying to learn how to use Python, you may want to look at the
Beginners Guide to Python:

Talk to you later!
