If you want to start programming in Python on your Windows PC, you’ll need to download and install a version of Python. This /”EvilComp/” teaches you how to install Python (2 or 3) using the official Windows installer, as well as how to fix the /”python is not recognized as an internal or external command/” that some users encounter after installing it.
steps
1-Go to www.python.org/downloads. The most recent version of Python will always appear on the /”Download/” button near the top of the page.
2-Click Download Python version. If this does not start the download immediately, click Save on the pop-up window to start it.
3-Run the installer. You can do so by double-clicking python-version.exe in your Downloads folder.
4-Check the box next to /”Add Python version to PATH./” It’s at the bottom of the window.
5-Click Customize installation. It’s the second blue link on the window.
6-Review the installation options and click Next. All Python’s features are selected by default. Unless you have a specific need to skip installing any part of this package, just leave these settings alone.
7-Check the box next to /”Install for all users./”/” If you’re a system administrator, this option ensures that other users on this computer can use Python. This also changes the installation location to the Program Files//(x86)//Python(version) instead of your personal library.
8-Click Install. It’s at the bottom of the window.
9-Click Yes to confirm. This installs Python on your PC. Once the installation is complete, you’ll see a /”Setup was successful/” window—don’t close it yet.
10-Click Disable path length limit. It’s toward the bottom of the /”Setup was successful/” window. This final step ensures that Python (and other apps) can use paths more than 260 characters in length.
11-Click Yes to confirm. Python is now installed and ready to use.
12-Click Close to exit the installer.
13-Test your Python installation. Here’s how to ensure the path is set up properly:
Type cmd into the Windows search bar and press ↵ Enter.
Type python and press ↵ Enter. You should see at the beginning of the current line. This means Python is working and the path is set correctly.
If you see an error that says /”python is not recognized as an internal or external command,/” see the /”Adding the Python Path to Windows/” method.
Type exit() to return to the command prompt.
