00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,520
Hello Windows user.

2
00:00:02,530 --> 00:00:06,300
If you are not using a Windows computer, then this video

3
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:07,500
is not for you.

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,340
However, if you are one of the people in the world who are

5
00:00:11,350 --> 00:00:15,450
using Windows, which is a lot of people like 60% of the world uses

6
00:00:15,460 --> 00:00:18,190
Windows or something like that, you might be interested in

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,950
learning how to install Python on Windows,

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,240
I'm using Windows 10, and also installing Anaconda, along with

9
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:27,770
how to run some Python commands.

10
00:00:27,860 --> 00:00:31,400
So I just thought I would make a proper support video specifically

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:32,400
for Windows users.

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,400
So first things first, we need to download Python.

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,400
[no audio]

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,300
And so I'm just going to open up whichever browser

15
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:42,900
and I'm going to go to 'python.org'.

16
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:45,900
[no audio]

17
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:48,000
I guess we can make this a touch bigger.

18
00:00:48,180 --> 00:00:50,190
And let's head on over to 'Downloads'.

19
00:00:50,190 --> 00:00:54,400
And now it's going to automatically suggest which version to download for me.

20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:01:00,500
So I'm going to download Python 3.8.2, and I can save it, and I can run it,

21
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:04,500
and all sorts of stuff. Obviously take security measures into account here.

22
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,050
I'm just going to run this because I already have antivirus

23
00:01:08,060 --> 00:01:09,520
and all that stuff running on here.

24
00:01:09,530 --> 00:01:12,760
If you don't, you may want to look into that just to be safe

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,300
on the internet. All right.

26
00:01:14,350 --> 00:01:16,050
So let's go ahead and install Python.

27
00:01:16,050 --> 00:01:19,800
So this just automatically detected 32-bit for me, if

28
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,600
you're using a newer computer, definitely get the 64-bit, if that is an option.

29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,800
And also you're going to want to add that Python path

30
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,800
in there. So make sure you click this little box.

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,400
So I'm just going to select the 'Install Now'.

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,500
[no audio]

33
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:38,700
Yes, and the setup is in progress.

34
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:40,900
[no audio]

35
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:42,500
We'll just wait for it to do its thing here.

36
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:45,200
[no audio]

37
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,300
Okay. So the setup was successful.

38
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,800
Thank you, Mark Hammond, for all your work. 'Disable path length limit'

39
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,900
That's usually a good idea.

40
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,430
Let me click that.

41
00:01:55,430 --> 00:01:56,800
It's going to ask me. Yep

42
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,000
I'm going to confirm that and 'Close'.

43
00:01:59,190 --> 00:02:02,370
And now Python is installed, so I can go in here and I can

44
00:02:02,380 --> 00:02:06,420
just type in 'Command Prompt', and you can see here.

45
00:02:06,430 --> 00:02:09,550
And I'm going to run this as an administrator just so that

46
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,690
I have proper permissions.

47
00:02:10,690 --> 00:02:13,500
Again, it's going to ask me, do you want to do this? Yes, I do.

48
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,120
And now typically throughout the rest of this course and

49
00:02:17,130 --> 00:02:19,950
throughout a lot of other videos you'll see on the internet,

50
00:02:19,950 --> 00:02:26,120
you will see people say they'll type 'python -v' or '--version',

51
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,200
[no audio]

52
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,700
like this, but that's not going to work for us, not on Windows

53
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:33,400
anyways. We can do 'python -v',

54
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,600
that also isn't going to work. On Windows,

55
00:02:35,650 --> 00:02:37,350
instead what we use is just 'py'.

56
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:43,100
So 'py -v', and it gives us the version that we're using. 'py --version',

57
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,310
and that gives us all of our regular Python commands.

58
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,480
So what we can do now is instead of typing Python, or occasionally

59
00:02:50,490 --> 00:02:52,670
Python 3 or Python 3.6,

60
00:02:52,730 --> 00:02:55,640
and then whatever your version or your command is, not your

61
00:02:55,650 --> 00:02:57,890
version, but whatever your command is you just type 'py'.

62
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,400
So if you're running a Python file, you'd run 'py',

63
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,600
your file, '.py',

64
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,600
[no audio]

65
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,800
And that's it. Now 'your_file.py' doesn't exist,

66
00:03:07,970 --> 00:03:10,580
so that's not actually going to do anything for us.

67
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:13,580
But moving forward, if you run into a Python file, you can

68
00:03:13,590 --> 00:03:14,600
always run it with just 'py'.

69
00:03:14,940 --> 00:03:16,620
Also getting into your shell,

70
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:21,100
this is pretty important to know, just getting into your Python shell,

71
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:22,500
there's two different ways you can do this.

72
00:03:22,590 --> 00:03:24,890
The first way is you can just type 'py', and hit enter,

73
00:03:24,980 --> 00:03:27,440
and you can quit by hitting or typing

74
00:03:27,450 --> 00:03:29,060
'quit()' with a parentheses around it,

75
00:03:29,220 --> 00:03:34,940
or you can go down here and it'll, say, 'Recently Added',

76
00:03:34,950 --> 00:03:37,010
or if it's not in here, it'll be somewhere in here,

77
00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:38,360
and you can just click 'IDLE',

78
00:03:38,660 --> 00:03:41,600
and this will spin up Python for me.

79
00:03:41,610 --> 00:03:44,120
And so this looks a little bit different, but this is just

80
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,040
pure Python. So this is not your command line.

81
00:03:46,050 --> 00:03:47,420
This is just pure Python.

82
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,800
And so now I can 'print('Hello World')',

83
00:03:50,810 --> 00:03:54,220
and it gives me nice little helpful tips, like what we saw

84
00:03:54,220 --> 00:03:59,600
there. And I can print that, then assign a variable

85
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,000
'Python for everybody',

86
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:03,800
and I can print that out as well.

87
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,200
[no audio]

88
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,400
And voila, and if I want to get out of it, you can just close this as a program,

89
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,800
or you can type 'quit()' with parentheses.

90
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,600
Cool. So that's how you would download and install Python on Windows,

91
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,800
and also how you would run it in your 'Command Prompt', and

92
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,300
in your Python IDLE.
