Python Turtle in Ubuntu Linux?

Python Turtle in Ubuntu Linux?

Hi,

I'd like to introduce my kids to programming, and PythonTurtle looks great.

However, we use Ubuntu Linux here, so won't be using the Windows installer.

I tried getting it working via source code, but I'm not familiar with 
git, and have errors:

git clone http://github.com/cool-RR/PythonTurtle.git

/data/devel/python/python-turtle/PythonTurtle/.git/

Would please advise me on how to proceed?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Cormac!

You don't even have to touch git to get the source code! In the
GitHub<http://github.com/cool-RR/PythonTurtle>repo there is a
"Download" button which will give you a zip/tarball of the
source.

Let me know if it works.
