1. Install Python
The Python version of ev3dev is ** 3.5.3 **, so here I will install the same version of Python. (Even if the version is different, the program is executed by ev3 itself, so if the program is written correctly, it will work, but if you write it in a notation that is not introduced in 3.5 series, an error will occur, so insert another version. The benefits will not be in the development of ev3dev)
