Let's go ahead and download Anaconda so we can run Jupyter
Notebooks. So what we need to do is go to 'anaconda',
I think it's '.com'.
Let's not risk that. "anaconda python", and Google will now,
or Bing because we're on Windows, that makes sense.
It is 'anaconda com'.

So we want to go into 'Products', and let's go into our 'Individual Edition' here,
and let's just get rid of that.
Make your page just a touch smaller here.
And so really all we want to do is just download this.
And for this one, I'm going to download the 64-bit Graphical
Installer using Python 3.7.
So again, you can save this, scan it for viruses, and just run it.
Okay. Anaconda is up and running.
I'm going to install it now.
I agree. Just me.
Sure, I'll install it into my account.
Now if you want to use Anaconda, you can. You can say, 'Register
Anaconda3 as my default Python 3.7'.
Now I've already installed Python using Python 3.8, so I want to use that.
But if you just want to use Python this way, that's totally cool too.
So I'm just going to go through here, and it's going to install.
Okay. So for me that took like five minutes.
That was a very long setup, but it is finally done.
I'll click 'Next'.
If you want to get a Python specific editor called PyCharm,
you totally can. I don't.
I use VS Code because I'm a little more full stack, and I
like to write JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SQL, Django, all sorts of stuff.
All right. Now that that is installed, we can go into our Anaconda3
folder here, and go to Anaconda Navigator.
That's the one we want. It's the Navigator.

So this is asking if I want to help Anaconda improve.
I currently don't, but you might want to.
Okay. And don't show again.
And let's go back to our program back here,
and we can see all sorts of stuff.
Now, your screen is probably going to be a little bit bigger
than mine, but you're going to see all sorts of stuff in here,
and the one we're going to be using for the most part
is going to be Notebook.
So you're just going to want to click 'Launch' on that.
[no audio]
Now, what's really cool about this, is you can run Python
right in your browser.
So I just ran this from a standard folder, and you can traverse
through your folders and create new Python files anywhere you like.
So for instance, if I wanted to go to my Desktop and create
a new Python file in here, I could. I would just go over here
'New', 'Python 3',

and now you and I are using Jupyter Notebook on Windows, and
we can check that this is going to work by typing something
like, 'print("Hello World")',
and then you can just run your cell, and it says "Hello World".
Once you have that up and running, you successfully are using
Python with Jupyter as well.
We can also check to see what version of Python we're using
by executing the command line command with an exclamation
mark, '!py --version'.
[no audio]
And what this does, it says, "Hey, actually, get out of
Python for a quick second".
Just run this on the command line. Run 'py ---version', and this
will give Python 3.8.2 for us.
That's how I know what version of Python I'm using.
At any point in time, you can always save your file.
You can rename your file.
You can do all sorts of stuff. If you ever wanted to
you could just totally kill this kernel,
so what you're running in this particular window is called
a kernel, and shutdown our kernel.
All we have to do is 'shutdown'.
Yep, shut it down.
And now we can see there's no kernel in here.
But if we go back to this tab, we have a new file called
'Untitled.ipynb'
So that's all there is to installing Anaconda and Jupyter Notebook
