Installing Python on Windows

Python runs on many versions of Windows. There are some older, less-widely-used versions of Windows without an actively supported version of Python. For example, Windows 2000 is not supported.

The general procedure for installing Python is quite simple. We'll download an installer and do some preparation. Then we'll start the installer. Once that's finished, we'll be up and running.

To find the installer, start here:

The web server should detect your OS and provide a big button with some variation of "Download Python 3.4.x" on it. Click on this button to start the download.

If we have a very old computer, we might need the 32-bit version. Most modern computers will have a 64-bit CPU. When in doubt, 64-bit is the assumption to make.

Double-click the .msi file to start running the installer. This starts with a question about installing Python for yourself or for all users. If you have appropriate privileges, the all users option is appropriate. On a shared computer, without appropriate privileges, you'll have to install it for yourself only.

The second page will ask for an installation directory. Be careful about the path that you choose for the installation, and avoid spaces in filenames.
