    Lesson 3: Step by step instruction to install Python in


    Windows

    Installing or updating Python on your system is the first step


    to becoming a Python developer. There are many ways you
    can get started with setup and installation: you can download
    official Python distributions from Python.org, install from a
    package manager(Anaconda), and even install specialized
    distributions for scientific computing, Internet of Things, and
    embedded systems.

    Check if you already have Python installed

    You can check in the command-line application, such as


    PowerShell

    Tip: Here’s how you open PowerShell:

    1. Press the ⊞ Win key.

    2. Type PowerShell or cmd.

    3. Press Enter
    Alternatively, you can right-click the Start button and
    select Windows PowerShell or Windows PowerShell (Admin).

    If you’re interested in where the installation is located,


    then you can use the where.exe command in Command
    Prompt or PowerShell.

    Python | PowerShell

    1. Run python without parameters


    2. Install Python — Full Installer

    Step 1: Select Version of Python to download Full Installer and


    install

    The most stable Windows downloads are available from


    the Python for Windows page. On Windows, you have a
    choice between 32-bit (labeled x86) and 64-bit (labeled x86–
    64) versions, and several flavors of the installer for each.
    Underneath the Python Releases for Windows find the Latest
    Python 3 Release — Python 3.9.4
    Step 2: Download Python Executable Installer and install it

    Double-click the executable file, which is downloaded; the


    following window will open. Select Customize installation
    and proceed. Click on the Add Path check box, it will set the
    Python path automatically.

    1. Run the Python Installer once downloaded. (In this


    example, we have downloaded Python 3.9.4)

    2. Make sure you select the “Install launcher for all users”
    and “Add Python 3.9 to PATH” checkboxes.

    3. Select Install Now — the recommended installation


    options.
    Step 3: Wait for it to complete the installation process
    The next dialog will prompt you to select whether to Disable
    the path length limit. Choosing this option will allow Python
    to bypass the 260-character MAX_PATH limit. Effectively, it
    will enable Python to use long path names.
    The Disable path length limit option will not affect any other
    system settings. Turning it on will resolve potential name
    length issues that may arise with Python projects developed
    in Linux.

    Step 4: Verification of installation of python in Windows

    To check if Python 3.9.4 has been successfully installed in


    our system,

     Open Cmd prompt in your system

     Run “ Python -V”


    Step 5: Run python

    Kudos! python has been installed in your system, Now go to

    1. Windows search

    2. Type IDLE

    3. Open it.

    Run your First Python code

    Happy Coding

    Step 6: Verify Pip Was Installed


    If you opted to install an older version of Python, it is
    possible that it did not come with Pip preinstalled. Pip is
    a powerful package management system for Python
    software packages. Thus, make sure that you have it
    installed.

    We recommend using Pip for most Python packages,


    especially when working in virtual environments.

    Pip has not been installed yet if you get the following output:
    'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    Operable program or batch file.

    3. Install Python using Anaconda navigator

    Anaconda Navigator is a desktop GUI interface that comes


    with Anaconda Individual Edition. It makes it easy to launch
    applications and manage packages and environments
    without using command-line commands(CLI).

    Step 1: Visit the official site for anaconda

    Download: Anaconda
    Step 2: Select Open Source Distribution

    Step 3: Click on the download button


    Step 4: Select your OS and Download a package

    Step 5: After the installer gets downloaded, open it


    Step 6: Start the installation in your system
    Step 7: Kudos! ANACONDA has been successfully installed in
    your system.
    Happy Coding

    Online Python Interpreters

    For some or other reason if you are not setting up Python on


    your machine, then there are several websites that offer an
    online Python interpreter:

     Python.org Online Console

     Repl.it

     Trinket

     Python Anywhere
