00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:06.730
so in this video we are going to talk through potential
issues you may have with the next

2
00:00:06.730 --> 00:00:09.900
section of the course when we need to
make sure that Python or some

3
00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:13.860
of the tools of Python are working
on the command line so what you need to

4
00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:17.770
do first on your Windows machine is you
need to open your command your command

5
00:00:17.770 --> 00:00:23.180
prompt and you normally click on the Windows
prompt the Windows button in the

6
00:00:23.180 --> 00:00:28.770
bottom left hand corner of your screen and
click on the run option so you select

7
00:00:28.770 --> 00:00:32.759
Run and a little window where you can
 type in

8
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:38.379
cmd for command prompt an open that and
you should get a little black screen pop up

9
00:00:38.379 --> 00:00:42.579
and if you can't find that just do a
search for command prompt so basically

10
00:00:42.579 --> 00:00:47.850
when I opened it up and I'm gonna do is
show you a screen where the command

11
00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:51.780
isn't working so if you get a screen like this
on the screen and you can see it got my

12
00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:57.730
windows open at the moment and notice how I have
typed in the commands pip I

13
00:00:57.730 --> 00:01:00.609
pressed enter and I got pip is not
recognized as an internal or external

14
00:01:00.609 --> 00:01:05.800
command so try doing that and if you get the
error get the error that says that it's

15
00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:10.340
not working then you need to follow the
instructions here to modify your Python

16
00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:15.210
installation now this is a assuming that
you've actually gone ahead and installed

17
00:01:15.210 --> 00:01:19.659
Python and obviously if got to this stage of
course presumably have done that if by

18
00:01:19.659 --> 00:01:25.560
chance you haven't installed the full Python
 installation before you haven't got

19
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.549
it running in IntelliJ then watch
towards the end of this video and I'll

20
00:01:29.549 --> 00:01:31.549
take you through the new installation

21
00:01:31.549 --> 00:01:35.159
but I am going to assume that you've basically gone
through the installation but you are still

22
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.430
getting an error and will need to get
this pip command working so we're going

23
00:01:38.430 --> 00:01:39.880
to show you what to do

24
00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:43.560
the first thing you need to do is you
need to open up your Python

25
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.820
installation again so double click the
file that you downloaded for Python and

26
00:01:47.820 --> 00:01:51.570
once you do that you should come up with this
modified set up and one you can also do

27
00:01:51.570 --> 00:01:55.570
which I won't show on the screen but you
can go into the Windows setup and you

28
00:01:55.570 --> 00:02:00.979
can come into the uninstall program
options select Python and you should have

29
00:02:00.979 --> 00:02:05.420
an option to modify so if you do get that
you get the screen to come up like this you

30
00:02:05.420 --> 00:02:08.580
wanna click on modify so you don't want to
click on uninstall

31
00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:12.710
click on modify and once you do that you
get this next screen you should get a screen

32
00:02:12.710 --> 00:02:15.340
that looks like that so what you want to do
is make sure that

33
00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:20.709
all those options are ticked
documentation pip tcl / TK and IDLE and

34
00:02:20.709 --> 00:02:24.330
Python tests suite so basically have everything ticked on the screen and if it has

35
00:02:24.330 --> 00:02:28.150
other options there now that you don't
see on the screen shots that is different on

36
00:02:28.150 --> 00:02:29.340
your machine

37
00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:33.690
have those ticked as well and click on Next what
should do is get a screen that looks very

38
00:02:33.690 --> 00:02:38.799
similar to this and make sure that the
options I've shown are selected at

39
00:02:38.799 --> 00:02:43.489
the very least associate files with Python
create shortcuts and add Python into

40
00:02:43.489 --> 00:02:47.950
environment variables so those are the important
ones particularly that third one add Python to

41
00:02:47.950 --> 00:02:51.530
environment variables because that's
actually how we get it to work

42
00:02:51.530 --> 00:02:55.290
so that when you type pip it will find the path to Python on

43
00:02:55.290 --> 00:02:59.329
your machine so without doing that you
 are not going to be able to get it to work so make sure

44
00:02:59.329 --> 00:03:03.579
you select at the very least that option add Python to environment variables and if it

45
00:03:03.579 --> 00:03:07.450
happens to be worded slightly different
if it uses the Path or something like

46
00:03:07.450 --> 00:03:07.910
that

47
00:03:07.910 --> 00:03:13.269
select that option and once you've done that
click on install button as you see on the screen

48
00:03:13.269 --> 00:03:16.950
their and what you'll do you find that
it'll be fairly quick and it'll come up

49
00:03:16.950 --> 00:03:21.650
and say modification was successful modify was
successful at that point you finish the

50
00:03:21.650 --> 00:03:25.950
modification of your existing Python
installation and now we can go back

51
00:03:25.950 --> 00:03:29.790
and tests if our pip commands works again
so going back and show you and do

52
00:03:29.790 --> 00:03:33.599
that so now when you type pip you should
get something like this on-screen if you

53
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.480
type pip instead of getting that to unknown
command that we got at the start of

54
00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:40.400
the video you should get something like
that shows that it's working and

55
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.549
if you've got this and pip and you've
got that coming up on your screen your

56
00:03:44.549 --> 00:03:49.120
good to go and you can finish the video
now and move on to the next video now if

57
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.730
you are at the stage where you are
installing this for the first time then

58
00:03:52.730 --> 00:03:55.959
continue watching but again if you've
got it working you've already had it

59
00:03:55.959 --> 00:03:58.840
installed and you follow these options
and it's working

60
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.560
you don't need to watch the rest of the
video but for everyone else I'm gonna

61
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:06.340
show you how to go about it on a new
installation on Windows of Python so

62
00:04:06.340 --> 00:04:09.579
once you've downloaded it for the first
time you get a screen similar to this

63
00:04:09.579 --> 00:04:15.709
and important thing I'm going to get you
to do is in the next screen slide is to

64
00:04:15.709 --> 00:04:20.959
click on the Add Python 3.5 on the path down
the bottom of the screen and that's very

65
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.280
important to actually to add and that's
going to be how this will actually work

66
00:04:24.280 --> 00:04:27.840
for you without having to go through the
modification so click on that you

67
00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:28.750
should have a screen some

68
00:04:28.750 --> 00:04:31.920
like that once its clicked on that and
then moving on the next thing to do is

69
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.060
to click on Customize installation so
selecting that option as you can see

70
00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:40.040
on the screen once you do that once you click
on customize installation you will get the

71
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.430
screen that I'm just about to show you
now and it will come up with all these

72
00:04:43.430 --> 00:04:46.600
options so basically you want to select
everything on the screen that you can

73
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.690
and if your screen looks slightly different to this
maybe you got a different version of python

74
00:04:50.690 --> 00:04:54.820
at some point in the future from when I
recorded this video just select

75
00:04:54.820 --> 00:04:58.120
everything on screen it doesn't really
matter but you wanna make sure at the very

76
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:02.610
least that pup installed pip is the one
that we're gonna be using but it won't

77
00:05:02.610 --> 00:05:05.780
hurt to have everything else installed and it's
probably the best thing to do so click

78
00:05:05.780 --> 00:05:10.010
on all those options and click on Next
down the bottom of the screen once you

79
00:05:10.010 --> 00:05:13.200
do that you get a screen that looks very
similar to this now you can go ahead and

80
00:05:13.200 --> 00:05:16.140
click on install for all users if you
want and you can click on some of the

81
00:05:16.140 --> 00:05:17.040
other options

82
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.990
the one that you really must click is add Python to
 environment variables that's the

83
00:05:21.990 --> 00:05:25.980
one that will actually enable this
command to work so that we can actually

84
00:05:25.980 --> 00:05:30.730
use that command line option and the install
for all users is also optional and

85
00:05:30.730 --> 00:05:35.740
it won't hurt to click on associated files with
Python and create shortcuts really don't

86
00:05:35.740 --> 00:05:39.370
need to worry about pre compile standard
standard library and download debugging symbols and

87
00:05:39.370 --> 00:05:42.680
download debug libraries they are only
optional it is not something you need to worry

88
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:48.080
about and once you do that click on
install what you'll see is you get a screen

89
00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:51.820
similar to this loading on the screen
and that will go ahead and install

90
00:05:51.820 --> 00:05:54.660
Python so it will take a few minutes to
actually go through and finish the

91
00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:58.870
installation and when its finally done you
get a screen similar to that set up was

92
00:05:58.870 --> 00:06:02.460
successful and you be able to click on close and you'll be good to go

93
00:06:02.460 --> 00:06:06.810
and go ahead and configure Python in IntelliJ and one other thing you can

94
00:06:06.810 --> 00:06:10.620
do just to double check is you can open a
command prompt and I mention how to do

95
00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:13.760
at the start of the video click on that
in type in pip

96
00:06:13.760 --> 00:06:16.970
and you should get this sort of output
something along those lines should work

97
00:06:16.970 --> 00:06:21.320
and if it doesn't work it means probably
you didn't click on the path environment

98
00:06:21.320 --> 00:06:24.760
variables option and if necessary that
still not working

99
00:06:24.760 --> 00:06:29.300
reboot the computer and it
should the work so that's it that's the

100
00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:33.810
installation options for Windows so at
this point you can now move on to the

101
00:06:33.810 --> 00:06:34.250
next video
