# Getting started with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico: Access the REPL and upload MicroPython libraries using rshell

## Summary

MicroPython is an implementation of the Python 3 programming language, optimized to run on microcontrollers. It's one of the options available for programming your Raspberry Pi Pico. The Pico documentation covers connecting to the Pico from a Pi, so if you're wanting to code from your own computer you'll need something else.
