Let's start with the Python installation on
Windows. In the two next lessons, I'm also going
to show you how to do that for Linux and MAC OS.
So feel free to just watch the installation,
listen for the operating system you're currently
using for the course and skip the other ones. So
for Windows, first go to python.org/downloads. So
you can see the URL here, and you're going to get
to that website. And here you should see Download
the latest version for Windows. So if they didn't
detect your Windows operating system, just click
here on Windows, and you are going to be able to
download it here. So download the latest version,
whatever version it is, so it should start with
3 now. But for me, it's 3.9.5, for
you can be anything, just download the latest
version, it doesn't really matter. Okay, the
functionalities are going to be the same for what
we need. Okay, so now it's downloading. And once
you have the Python executable, you can just open
it and click. So just execute the Python
executable. And you will get to this menu, okay,
Install Python 3.9.5, and one thing that is very
important is to check this box here, Add Python 3.9 to PATH.
Okay, you have to do that, this is an important
step. And then you can click on Install Now, and
this is going to install Python on your computer.

Okay, and then you can click on Close and Python
is installed. What you can do is, you can go on the
search bar here and search for Python. And you
will see Python, so you have a new application,
and here you have kind of a terminal where what we
actually can call a Python shell. So I'm going to
zoom with control and the mouse and you can see your
version here. So it doesn't really matter if you
don't have the same as me. Okay? Once again, the
version is not important for the course, the
importance is that it starts with 3. And then
after the course you're going to be able to choose
different versions for different applications, if
you want to, okay. So here you have three angle
brackets. You can just use double quotes. Hello,
double quotes, and if you can see hello here, it
means that Python is correctly working, and
installed on your computer. And now you're ready
to continue so you can skip the Linux and MAC OS
installation videos, go to the next section to
start writing Python code right away.
