Intro to Python Installation Instructions

Raw

python-setup.md

Installing the prereqs for Linux and Mac should be quick, but it'll take more time for Windows users, as they'll have to install wsl and download a few additional packages.

For Linux / Mac:

Download and Install Python 3.7 (Click on the big yellow Download Python 3.7.2 button at the top)
- (Windows, please follow additional instructions before closing the installer)
- https://www.python.org/downloads/
Download and Install VS Code
- https://code.visualstudio.com/download

For Windows only:

Note: Always select "Allow this app to make changes to your device" during the installation process.
On the last page of the Python 3 installer, select "Disable Path Limit" before hitting close.
In the start menu, right click on "Windows Powershell". Select "Run as an administrator"
- In the Powershell terminal window, that opens, type "Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned"
- Keep this window opened for tomorrow
