How to install python in your computer

Share:
Before you start, you will need Python on your computer.

Check whether you already have an up to date version of Python installed by entering python in a command-line window. If you see a response from a Python interpreter it will include a version number in its initial display.

python command to know the version

When you use python --version it displays version when you use the only python it opens the python shell in the command line. If it is showing you the version then it means you had the python in your system.

Generally, any Python 3.x version will do, As of now, the latest version is 3.8.2 when I wrote this post. Python makes every attempt to maintain backward compatibility within major Python versions. Python 2.x and Python 3.x are intentionally not fully compatible. If python starts a Python 2.x interpreter, try entering python3 and see if an up to date version is already installed.

Go to the Python downloads page and download your relatable file according to the operating system, no of bits, and use of python for your work.





On Windows, you have a choice between 32-bit (labeled x86) and 64-bit (labeled x86-64) versions, and several flavors of the installer for each. The Python core team thinks there should be a default you don't have to stop and think about, so the yellow download button on the main download page gets you the "x86 executable installer" choice. This is actually a fine choice: you don't need the 64-bit version even if you have 64-bit Windows, the 32-bit Python will work just fine. 

NOTE: Check whether you are downloading 64 bit or 32 bit to your windows system.         

After downloading your executable file install the python in your system. You can go with the installation flow normally it is easy.
You will get python shell, manuals, modules, and IDLE of python. Yow may use any other Python IDE's like Pycharm, anaconda, Visual code any other you prefer.IDE makes the work environment good and fast.
