Hello everybody and welcome back to this tutorial. And right now let us see how we
can download Python for Windows. Now we have to actually visit a certain link, so
open up your Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or whatever search engine you are using,
and we're going to navigate to the python.org/downloads. So go up
right up here, https://python.org/downloads/, and
then add another slash at the end of this link. Press here enter. Now once
again, this will lead us to a page where we can download different versions of
Python. It will show us right here, as we can see, that the latest version of
Python currently is Python 3.7.3. As I said before, if
you have a newer version feel free to download that one, as long as it is a
Python 3 version and not Python 2. We can see the release dates right here and
different versions. This is ours that we are going to download, released on
March 25th 2019. Now you might be asking whether you are going to download a
32-bit or 64-bit version, but we're going to get into that just in a second. Once
you actually check all of these things out, and you can read these
licenses and sources if you want to. Nothing really important right
here. And right here you can see looking for Python with a
different OS, we want to click Python for windows, and right here we're going to
have different versions for Python 3.7.3. Now note
this statement right here that says, Python 3.7.3
cannot be used on Windows XP or earlier. So if you're using Windows XP which I
highly doubt, it is 2019 and nobody's using XP anymore, but if you are you're going
to have to upgrade or download a different version of Python, since this
one won't work on Windows XP. Now you can also see these different things right
here such as table releases and pre-releases. Now pre releases are,
basically, as you can see Python 3.8.0, which is
basically a release that hasn't really been released yet as a
stable release. So it is something still in progress of working. So what we want
to do is we want to download a stable release, because we want our Python to
work perfectly. And you have right here different versions that you want to
download, such as the x86 and x86 64. Now the x86 is 32-bit and the 64 is the
64-bit. Now in order to check whether your PC is 32-bit or 64-bit, so you
can know which one you can download, you can go right here. So just open up your
search bar in the actual Windows 10. You can just type here start, pardon me not
start, we open start, we want to type the control panel, so control panel, open your
control panel right here. It will lead you to your settings. You want to go and
navigate to the system and security settings. And right here you want to find,
let me just see where it is. Okay, so system settings right here. And right
here just under the system type, you can check out whether your operating
system is, or whether your processor is 32 or 64-bit. And you can see mine is
currently 64-bit, so I will be downloading the 64-bit version. So let us
close this, and the 64-bit version would be this one, so windows x86 - 64
executable installer. Click on it. It will start downloading. As we can see it is 25
megabytes long, or big should I say. And right here we have that version right
here. Since I already did download it, you can see it is the same name. So all you
want to do is run your executable installer program. You can see right here
it opens the Windows install Python 3. We want to just click on install
now. It will ask for the administrator password which I don't have, so I will
just click here, yes, and it will start installing or setting up our Python 3
for us. And, basically, all you want to do is follow the actual process
of installation. And if you want to, later on, you can add Python 3 to the path so you
can run it from anywhere you like. Now this shouldn't take too long to install.
Basically, it is right now installing and downloading all the additional
libraries that it needs in order to be able to run. And what we are going to do
afterwards, in the next video, I will show you a few commands that you can run
in order to install Python 3 for Ubuntu Linux. Now those of you who are using
Ubuntu, you probably already know that any Linux type of system basically
already comes with Python and Python 3. But we want to install some different
reusable things, or useful things should I say, such as pip for Python, installing
different modules/libraries, IDLE and basically the Python 3 interpreter. So,
I will just leave this to finish, and I will get back to you as soon as this has
finished. OK, so right here we are getting towards the end of the actual setup. It
shouldn't take more than a few seconds more to finish this. It took rather a long
while. I mean, not a while, it took around 2 to 3 minutes to finish this, which is
not that long, but I actually thought it would finish a little bit faster. But
here we can see everything has finished, and I hope that soon we will get
prompted the finish button which we can click and then run the Python 3. So you
can see the last thing it installed is the Python 3 pip bootstrap 64 bit. Let me
just move this right here. This installation file, right after you
actually finish installing Python 3, you can just delete. There is no need to keep
it right here. But if you want to you can just leave it right there.
So, right here we can see that set up was successful, special thanks to and then
Mark Hammond. Okay, so nothing really important right here. Disable path length
limit, change your machine configuration to allow programs including Python to
bypass the 260 characters max path limitation. Now this is not really
anything important to us, but if you want to you can just click it. What this means
is, basically, the path is the actual environment in Windows where you can
actually run the program from any directory you want. So, for example,
if you want to run audacity right here, this program on my desktop, from any
other directory that isn't the desktop directory, you can
add the executable of this program to the actual path, and it will be able to
run it from anywhere. But more about that later on. Right now just click here close,
and we have Python 3 installed. Now in order to check that out you can just
type here idle, and you can see right here I have a bunch of different versions
of Python 3. Right here we are interested in python 3.7 64 bit. And if you
open the idle, it will open up the Python 3 interpreter which we are going to talk
about more later on. As we can see, the version is 3.7.3,
which is a version that we downloaded, so more about that later on. What I am going
to show in the next video is for the Ubuntu and the Mac OS users, how to
download Python and how to run it. And for those of you who are running this on
Windows, you can just skip the next tutorial and get straight into the idle
demonstration. So, hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I hope I see you in the
next one. Bye!
