00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:03,390
Hello and welcome to this video.

2
00:00:03,390 --> 00:00:15,630
This video is about how to download and install Python on Windows based computers to check if python

3
00:00:15,750 --> 00:00:19,470
is installed on your computer.

4
00:00:19,470 --> 00:00:28,960
You need to open up the command prompt and typing the following command which is Python.

5
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:32,780
Space dash dash version.

6
00:00:33,060 --> 00:00:45,290
I have got my command prompt opened so I'm going to type in the command Python space dash dash version

7
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,030
and then you press Penta.

8
00:00:51,250 --> 00:01:01,710
You should get this message displayed saying Python is not recognized as an internal or external command.

9
00:01:01,730 --> 00:01:11,940
This proves that you haven't got Python installed so I'm just going to exit out of this command prompt

10
00:01:11,970 --> 00:01:23,550
by clicking on the X and we have the Web site for Python so this is the official Web site to download

11
00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:28,030
Python the link is displayed on the screen.

12
00:01:28,470 --> 00:01:39,020
That will give you access to the download page of Python so click on the downloads tab which is this

13
00:01:39,020 --> 00:01:50,750
tab here and the current version as of the time I am recording this video is Python.

14
00:01:50,790 --> 00:02:02,850
Three point seven to necks you can click on the button that says Python three point seven two to begin

15
00:02:02,850 --> 00:02:03,500
the download.

16
00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:11,400
So click on that and it downloads should begin so you can say the download here on the bottom left hand

17
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,840
corner of the screen.

18
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,900
So give that a few minutes to complete the download.

19
00:02:17,930 --> 00:02:27,580
The next thing we're going to do is install Python from the downloaded file to begin the installation

20
00:02:28,570 --> 00:02:37,180
on the bottom left hand corner is the downloaded file just click on it to run the python installation

21
00:02:37,780 --> 00:02:40,890
and you'll be presented with this screen.

22
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:50,350
I'm just going to minimize the other screen so we can see the installation screen properly the setup

23
00:02:50,510 --> 00:03:00,840
screen provides some information as to where python is going to be installed which it tells you in.

24
00:03:00,860 --> 00:03:03,520
This is where it's going to be installed for me.

25
00:03:03,820 --> 00:03:08,240
It also tells you what else is going to be installed.

26
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:18,580
So it says it's going to install idol and he's going to install Pip next on the bottom here we've got

27
00:03:18,730 --> 00:03:22,910
a box that says pad Python three point seven took path.

28
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,640
Make sure you click inside that box to make it checked.

29
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:34,720
And then once you've got that box checked click on this install now button to begin the installation

30
00:03:34,750 --> 00:03:35,910
so click.

31
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:43,050
And that should start the installation once the installation is finished.

32
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:48,420
You get the message saying setup was successful.

33
00:03:48,540 --> 00:03:53,440
You can just click to close the set up box.

34
00:03:53,520 --> 00:04:02,430
Next thing we want to do is check that Python is installed to check that we have definitely got Python

35
00:04:02,430 --> 00:04:03,930
installed.

36
00:04:03,930 --> 00:04:12,550
We need to type in the following command inside the command prompt so you type in Python space.

37
00:04:12,980 --> 00:04:23,150
You do dash dash version and then you press enter and that gives you the current version of Python.

38
00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:28,180
You can see it displays version three point seven two.

39
00:04:28,190 --> 00:04:34,400
So this concludes this video on the download and installation of Python.
