1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,910 Let's start with the Python installation on 2 00:00:02,940 --> 00:00:06,030 Windows. In the two next lessons, I'm also going 3 00:00:06,030 --> 00:00:09,000 to show you how to do that for Linux and MAC OS. 4 00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:12,030 So feel free to just watch the installation, 5 00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:14,880 listen for the operating system you're currently 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,780 using for the course and skip the other ones. So 7 00:00:18,780 --> 00:00:23,550 for Windows, first go to python.org/downloads. So 8 00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:26,070 you can see the URL here, and you're going to get 9 00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:29,460 to that website. And here you should see Download 10 00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:33,390 the latest version for Windows. So if they didn't 11 00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:36,270 detect your Windows operating system, just click 12 00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:39,390 here on Windows, and you are going to be able to 13 00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:43,110 download it here. So download the latest version, 14 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,990 whatever version it is, so it should start with 15 00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:49,860 3 now. But for me, it's 3.9.5, for 16 00:00:49,860 --> 00:00:52,110 you can be anything, just download the latest 17 00:00:52,110 --> 00:00:54,300 version, it doesn't really matter. Okay, the 18 00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:57,600 functionalities are going to be the same for what 19 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,740 we need. Okay, so now it's downloading. And once 20 00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:05,220 you have the Python executable, you can just open 21 00:01:05,220 --> 00:01:08,730 it and click. So just execute the Python 22 00:01:08,850 --> 00:01:12,690 executable. And you will get to this menu, okay, 23 00:01:12,690 --> 00:01:16,560 Install Python 3.9.5, and one thing that is very 24 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,992 important is to check this box here, Add Python 3.9 to PATH. 25 00:01:21,992 --> 00:01:24,330 Okay, you have to do that, this is an important 26 00:01:24,330 --> 00:01:28,620 step. And then you can click on Install Now, and 27 00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:32,400 this is going to install Python on your computer. 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,850 [No audio] 29 00:01:35,850 --> 00:01:39,300 Okay, and then you can click on Close and Python 30 00:01:39,330 --> 00:01:42,300 is installed. What you can do is, you can go on the 31 00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:46,800 search bar here and search for Python. And you 32 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,340 will see Python, so you have a new application, 33 00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:55,290 and here you have kind of a terminal where what we 34 00:01:55,290 --> 00:01:59,400 actually can call a Python shell. So I'm going to 35 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,740 zoom with control and the mouse and you can see your 36 00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:08,370 version here. So it doesn't really matter if you 37 00:02:08,370 --> 00:02:10,979 don't have the same as me. Okay? Once again, the 38 00:02:10,979 --> 00:02:12,750 version is not important for the course, the 39 00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:15,720 importance is that it starts with 3. And then 40 00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:17,910 after the course you're going to be able to choose 41 00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:21,030 different versions for different applications, if 42 00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:24,480 you want to, okay. So here you have three angle 43 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,620 brackets. You can just use double quotes. Hello, 44 00:02:28,650 --> 00:02:31,770 double quotes, and if you can see hello here, it 45 00:02:31,770 --> 00:02:34,500 means that Python is correctly working, and 46 00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:37,410 installed on your computer. And now you're ready 47 00:02:37,410 --> 00:02:40,500 to continue so you can skip the Linux and MAC OS 48 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,410 installation videos, go to the next section to 49 00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:46,486 start writing Python code right away.
