1
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:11,400
In this video, we're going to download and install
Python for the Windows platform. There's separate

2
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,050
videos for Linux or Mac, if you're needing to
install Python for those operating systems.

3
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,310
Otherwise, on Windows, in a
browser, go to Python.org.

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,680
That's the official
website for Python.

5
00:00:23,610 --> 00:00:26,910
We need to click on downloads,
come down here to Windows.

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,110
We're going to choose
the latest version.

7
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:35,210
And note that it says the Latest Python 3 and
Latest Python 2. We're going to be using Python 3

8
00:00:35,230 --> 00:00:40,670
in this course. You can see the latest release, as of
the time I'm recording this video, is Python 3.9.0

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,340
You'll download, whatever is
the latest version for you.

10
00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:51,500
Now, before we proceed, we need to know whether your
Windows operating system is a 64 bit or 32 bit version.

11
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,440
And the easiest way to do that is just to come down
here and just type 32 and search, there and select

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,860
this option, to see if you have a
32 or 64 bit version of Windows.

13
00:01:01,910 --> 00:01:08,210
Then we scroll on down, and the pertinent bit of
information there is system type, if yours says 64 bit

14
00:01:08,210 --> 00:01:15,470
operating system, as mine does, that means that you've got a 64
bit version of Windows. If it says 32, it's a 32 bit version.

15
00:01:15,470 --> 00:01:17,720
So I'm going to close it down.
Alright.

16
00:01:17,730 --> 00:01:25,990
So in my case, that means I need the 64 bit version, and
that's denoted by these downloads with the -64 after the x86.

17
00:01:26,030 --> 00:01:29,730
As you can see there, under executable installer Windows x86-64.

18
00:01:30,110 --> 00:01:31,580
So that's the 64 bit version.

19
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,560
I'm going to click that now, to start that downloading,
because I've got a 64 bit version. And this is

20
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,060
the version you want
to choose, down here,

21
00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:42,170
if you're running a 32 bit version. Alright,
as you can see, that's now downloaded for me.

22
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,400
So I'm going to
click on Open.

23
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,430
I'm going to close the browser
because I'm finished with that.

24
00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:52,040
The other thing we need to do, is make sure the
Add Python 3.9 to PATH checkbox is checked,

25
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,170
as I've just done there now,
and then click on Install Now.

26
00:01:56,170 --> 00:01:57,890
We're going to say
Yes to this pop up:

27
00:01:57,890 --> 00:02:00,350
Do you want to allow this app
to make changes to your device?

28
00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:03,640
And the installation
will now proceed.

29
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,400
Alright, now that that's done, you can skip the next
few videos, which relate to installations of Python

30
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,810
for Mac and Linux, and move on to the video
where we're going to install IntelliJ.

31
00:02:17,140 --> 00:02:18,910
So we'll see you in that video.
